Got a great idea for a novel, but can’t sit down and write the first page? If you're committed to finishing a novel and getting it published, this class is for you. We’ll discuss the craft of writing--including elements such as voice, character, plot, structure, and pacing—and also address business questions that’ll arise after you're done, such as: How do I write a query letter to an agent? What are the myths about the publishing industry? Can I send an unsolicited manuscript to a major publishing house? Taught by an instructor who is both a novelist and a book editor, this one-of-a-kind class is a unique opportunity to get you closer to your goal of seeing your novel in print, no matter what stage of the process you're at.

Wendy Lee is a graduate of New York University's Creative Writing Program. Her first novel, Happy Family, was named one of the top ten first novels of 2008 by Booklist.
