Steering the Craft: An Introduction to Novel Writing
"The story boat is a magic one. It knows its course. The job of the person at the helm is to help it find its own way to wherever it's going."
– Steering the Craft: A 21st Century Guide to Sailing the Sea of Story by Ursula K. Le Guin
​
Over the course of this eight-week workshop, participants will explore what makes their voice as an author unique, how to craft a compelling journey for their character(s), and how to create a strong sense of physical and cultural place within their novel.
