Hi everyone,
Here’s the info regarding the online course. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch, tony@tonydushane.com.
Every week I’ll post a video lecture and include handouts as we explore the craft of story and the novel. There will be free write assignments as well as a daily writing routine expected during the 8 weeks. You can watch the lectures, complete the assignments, and I’m available for conversation any time.
My goal as an instructor for this workshop is to set you up with the tools you’ll need to take a novel from an idea to final draft and everywhere along the way.
By the end of the workshop students should have a solid pages written of their novel and a set plan towards finishing their first draft.
This course will provide you with weekly assignments, group, and instructor feedback to help you explore various methods of writing your first novel while learning the key craft points of plot, structure, point-of-view, sense of place, and voice.
Limited to 8 students. If you have any questions feel free to contact me via email at tony@tonydushane.com.
