Regal House Publishing Workshop

About this Event

Write your novel: Tips to propel you from inspiration to a final draft with authors Mindy Friddle and Scott Gould!

Two writers share lessons on navigating the novel-writing journey from initial concept to polished draft. Do you have a terrific idea for a novel but aren’t sure how to proceed? Or perhaps you are halfway through a draft and feel stuck?

Maybe you’re seeking ways to craft a novel-in-stories into a cohesive narrative? This class will focus on real-world hacks to kickstart the writing and revising process and create a compelling novel. You’ll learn about tools to structure your ideas and fine-tune the framework of your novel and discover techniques to help you channel your creativity – even when inspiration is running dry.

This workshop is in partnership with Regal House Publishing. Please call the store at 919-664-1730 to sign up. The workshop is from 1pm-2pm on Sunday, April 14th, 2024. Space is limited.
