Want to get started writing fiction but unsure where to begin? Join Meg Wolitzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Interestings, The Uncoupling, The Ten-Year Nap, The Female Persuasion, The Position, The Wife, and Sleepwalking, for an introductory session on the act of getting started! In this 3-hour workshop, Wolitzer will guide participants through the early stages of the process including brainstorming, researching, developing characters, conflicts, outlining, and more. Hosted in the library of The Church, this class will be a safe, supportive place to develop ideas and begin work on a novel or short story of your own.
This workshop has been programmed as part of Wolitzer’s 2024 residency at The Church. For a full line-up and schedule for our upcoming artists-in-residence, visit our website HERE.
