Scoil Mhuire Clane

Writing a Novel

Course No: 6111

Sessions: 5, Wednesday 8.00pm-10.00pm

Fee: €55

While the course will concentrate mainly on the novel as an art form, reference in passing will be made to the short story, the poem, and the play, and how one genre can help to inform another. Emphasis will be placed on characterisation, dialogue, plot development, language and techniques for self-editing and rewriting. Participants are invited to bring some of their own work if they wish to have it critiqued in a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Advice will also be given on publishing opportunities, both traditional and electronic, in a modern age.
