Nine Weeks of Studying Advanced Novel Structure Craft Techniques

Advanced Craft Classes in general...

The goal in nine weeks is learn about an area of the craft of fiction writing in depth.

There will be eight assignments, one each week for the first eight weeks that will help you learn.

Dean and Kris have put these classes together. They will not be easy, but they will be worthwhile for your writing.

You can get the ones that interest you or that you think you need help on, or you can buy the entire year of 2023 or of 2024 or of 2025 for a discount and take them all.

ADVANCED NOVEL STRUCTURE... July and August 2025.

This class combines all the elements of so many of the advanced classes to help writers with structures of novels that will not let a reader escape and yet be logical and invisible to the reader. This will train your creative mind to write into the dark and yet produce complex novels that seem impossible to write without an outline.

This workshop starts on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025 and runs for nine weeks with assignments due each week on Sunday evening.
