Description

This four-week, mostly asynchronous studio will help you decide if you want to write a novel, and, if so, will help make the journey easier through the examination of structure, protagonist, worldbuilding, genre, and point of view. This is a great choice if you’re considering applying for Authors Lab.

Description
Instructor Bio

Writing a novel is hard work but work worth doing, and the hardest part for a first-timer is not knowing what you’re doing. This four-week, mostly asynchronous studio will help you decide if you want to write a novel, and, if so, will help make the journey much less fraught. Through recorded lectures, readings, online discussions, and short assignments, we will examine the structures of stories, protagonists and their journeys, story worlds, story time, genre, point of view—and the habit, discipline, and support needed to get it done. Note: this course also includes two optional Zoom sessions, April 17 and May 15 at 6 pm. This is a great choice if you’re considering applying for Authors Lab. (Non-member fee includes a one-year Charlotte Lit General Membership.)

Megan Rich has written two books, a YA novel and a travel memoir, and is seeking representation for her third, a literary thriller inspired by The Great Gatsby. She took part in the highly selective sub-concentration in creative writing at the University of Michigan, for which she completed a thesis of original poetry. She’s also a graduate of the selective Lighthouse Writers Workshop Book Project, and she is a 2022 recipient of the Arts & Science Council Charlotte’s Creative Renewal Fellowship. With 14 years’ experience as a creative writing teacher and mentor of students from ages 12 to 85, she is passionate about helping all writers find and refine their voices on the page.
