If you have always wanted to write a novel for young adults but are unsure where or how to begin this is the course for you. Even if you have a YA novel underway, this could be a game changer for you. Through creating key scenes, you will develop a useful roadmap for your project and avoid writer’s block, while building an effective plot, creating relatable characters and layering in important themes. And, you don’t even have to start at the beginning!
This class take place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre in Calgary.
