Year of Your Book: Fiction with Jonathan Vatner (via Zoom)


This is a 6-week class meeting Thursdays 6:00 – 8:30pm, starting Thursday, May 6 and ending on June 10. This class will be taught online via Zoom. Login details will be sent via email from the instructor a few days before class begins. Class needs 4 students to run, with a maximum enrollment of 8 students. Please email admin@writerscenter.org with questions.

How long have you been saying you want to write a book? Let 2021 be the year you do it! Whether you have a partial draft, or just an idea and the desire to write, this class can help you put that “book in your head” onto the page. We will craft outlines and discuss structure, then address the mechanics of fiction during in-depth, sensitive critiques of your work. Generative exercises will challenge you to experiment with new voices and forms, and our community of writers will help you stick to your goals. With steady effort, you can finish that first draft by this time next year.

Registration for this 6week series is $370. Please register at:
