Writing a Novella
All Levels | Novellas occupy a strange place in today’s literary marketplace. They’re too long for most journals, but too short for many publishers. But good novellas are delightful to read, and the aesthetic possibilities offered by the form are enticing. Students will draft and/or revise a complete novella and have their work critiqued at least twice. Students at all stages of the writing process are encouraged to take this course. Whether you have a finished draft that you’d like to polish, or haven’t even written word one, you’ll get a lot out of it!
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
