Novel and Memoir Writing offers experienced writers a safe, creative playground in which to embark on a novel or novel-length memoir.

The course also includes frequent workshop opportunities, one-on-one feedback sessions with the professor, and tips for approaching various publishing venues and paths. Writers should be familiar with the basics of plot, characterization, showing vs telling, dialogue, and point of view.
