Start Small ~ Think Big 

Turning Your Short Story into a Novel

The thought of writing a novel can be intriguing. However, the actual process of writing can be so daunting and overwhelming, we often don’t even start. That’s because we are thinking too big before we even begin. In this unique 8-week, in-person class offered through the Wethersfield Adult Ed Department, we’ll start with the basic structure of the short story, concentrating on character, conflict, and plot. We’ll follow the simple arch of the story, creating a beginning, rising action, climax, and conclusion. Once we’ve completed our short story draft, we will then have the outline for our novel! Now, we will be able to do the fun work of expanding our story, creating subplots, adding secondary characters, layers, and backstory. Bring writing materials, as this will be an exciting hands-on experience in a nonjudgmental environment.

 Registration begins on Monday, January 29th.
