So, you have written a novel—congratulations! Now begins the immense task of revising. Where do you begin? With structure. In this class, you will learn tried-and-true methods of structuring stories so you can adapt them to best suit yours. We will consider story elements, such as character arc, plot beats, point of view, and genre, after which you will have the opportunity to submit the first chapter of your work-in-progress for feedback.
