Fiction Writing with Charles Salzberg

Celebrate National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) with New York Writers Workshop.
Learn the craft of fiction writing with expert instructor Charles Salzberg. Whether you're a seasoned writer or a budding author, join us for a series of classes on writing tools and techniques.

How to Write a Novel: Getting Started

How many times have you said to yourself, “You know, I could write a novel?” And how many times have you actually sat down and at least started to put words on paper? If you’re most people, the answer is, well, “no comment.” This workshop will give you all the tools you need to at least begin that Great American Novel you’ve been thinking about so long. We’ll talk about characters, plot, dialogue, structure, plotting, and how to write scenes. By the end of the class, you’ll at least know how to write a novel even if you’re still an A student in procrastination.

Please plan to attend all four sessions. Register for upcoming sessions here:
