MEWS on Ning Commune With Your Fellow MEWSies

Start Your Novel By Monday

…or at least by March 28.   For the first time in several years, I’m (it’s me, the MEWS Mistress, Pam Satran) teaching my novel-writing class but in a new, interactive, one-day format on Saturday, March 27.

This class is not a conventional workshop but teaches a process for planning and starting a novel.  Throughout the day, we’ll go through all the steps you need to take and everything you need to know to start your own novel…..and even better, finish it.

You don’t need to have a novel-in-progress to take this class or even to have ever written fiction before.  What you’ll learn is a fiction-writing method that will give you a real blueprint for everything from hatching an idea, creating characters and settings, crafting scenes, and developing a plot.

We’ll work together on creating a collaborative novel throughout the day, culminating in each of us writing the first scene and reading them aloud.   The workshop will run from 9 in the morning till 5 in the evening at my house in Montclair.  The price is $100.

I’m the New York Times bestselling author of five novels published by Simon & Schuster, including Younger and The Man I Should Have Married, and am currently working on the serialized online novel Ho Springs.  You can find out more about me at my website.  If you have more questions or to reserve a place in the class, email me at prsatran@gmail.com.
