This July, join me for an intensive week of workshops in writing the Novel at the University of Toronto Summer School of Creative Writing.
From July 7-11, 2025, we will consider the great delights and minor difficulties of writing a novel, including talks on structure, plot and meaning; creating convincing characters; working effectively with image, language and dialogue; how to conduct research if necessary, and how to know if it’s necessary. And we’ll workshop 15-20 pages of your own work in progress.
If you have a manuscript you’re working through and would like a serious boost and some good company this summer, consider the Novel course (or any of the other brilliant courses offered at the U of T’s summer school). It’s a great bargain (still only $700 for the week) and the writers/companions you meet that week will be with you for the long haul.
