Share your novel in an intimate critique setting and take your time. This class is specifically designed for writers who have already committed to their novels, and are interested in feedback in a group setting before making their final changes and seeking publication. The course is set up in a graduate-style format, with two critiques per week and one hour dedicated to each writer. Writers will have the opportunity to present one full chapter of their novel for critique, and include a synopsis of their novel
as well in order to receive as much feedback as possible.

In order to maintain fairness to every writer involved and ensure everyone receives a fair critique, attendance is expected for every class. Chapters will be selected and handed out one week in advance to allow everyone an opportunity to contribute as much as possible to each critique.

Prerequisite: This class is for writers who have already finished their novel or are in the process of finishing it. A sample chapter should be submitted along with registration. All writers interested in the group must meet specific writing skills criteria in order to ensure that everyone in the workshop is at the appropriate skill level. Upon acceptance, students will email their chapter for critique to Ken, who will then distribute the chapters on a weekly basis via email to be printed out and taken to class.
Chapters for the following class should be read ahead of time with feedback and suggestions for revision printed and brought to the workshop.
