Novel Writing

Saturday 17 April 2010 - Sunday 18 April 2010

Presented by: Linda Jaivin
Rating: All levels
Type: Workshop
Additional dates: Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 April, 10am – 4pm

Over two days, Linda Jaivin guides you on a journey from inspiration to creation. Through a combination of lecture, discussion and a variety of short writing exercises, she introduces the basics of novel-writing. How do you come up with a good idea for a novel? How do you get started? What comes first, character or plot? How to stop telling and start showing? Where will it all end?

She also teaches you how to be your own best editor. The course, about the creative process (not publication), is open to writers of all levels. Linda Jaivin is the internationally published author of five novels and a novella as well as numerous short stories. Her first novel, Eat Me, was an international bestseller. Her fourth, The Infernal Optimist, was shortlisted for the ASL Gold Medal. Her latest is A Most Immoral Woman (2009).
