Structure Your Novel Bootcamp, July-August

This summer, I’m excited to bring back my four-week boot camp on structuring the  novel!

This course—open to those who have yet to start writing, and those who are revising full-length drafts—guides you in developing a complete story structure for your novel. It provides tools for outlining new projects and finding fresh insight into stalled projects.

In this course, we will use written guides, writing exercises, assigned stories, and discussions to move from premise to detailed synopsis, identifying universal principles that will make your distinct story a satisfying read. Writers will leave with outlines for their works-in-progress and a toolkit of strategies for future projects.

Join us for readings, exercises, workshops, and zoom discussions on Thursday evenings, 8:30-10pm EST, from July 28-August 15. Read more and register here and feel free to be in touch with any questions.

SATURNALIA Cover Reveal!

Well, if you’re on this site, you’ve now seen it–and yet, still happy to thank Tor.com for being the first to share the beautiful cover for my new novel Saturnalia, designed by Jaya Nicely.

Tonight, Nina will put on a dress of blackest black, and attend the biggest party of the year. Before it’s over, she will discover secret societies battling for power in an increasingly precarious world…

Saturnalia is also now available for pre-order! You can order from your favorite local indie bookstore as well as from Unnamed Press, Barnes & Noble, and the other usual suspects.
