Tuesdays, April 14-June 9 | This generative workshop will apply the same camaraderie, energy, and brainstorming power that appears in television writing rooms to outlining your novel! You'll enter with nothing more than a couple of story-seed ideas, and leave with a beat sheet, character bios, setting sketches, and thematic goals for an entire novel. Led by Jacqui Castle.
