In Person Only

This workshop is for people with a completed draft of a manuscript.

Most workshops focus on the first part of a novel, but the ending is as important. In this critique session, we will specifically critique the last chapter of your work without requiring people to read an entire manuscript.

To participate, each student must bring a short synopsis, the first page, the middle page (yes, the page in the exact middle of the manuscript), and the last chapter. During the workshop, you’ll swap manuscripts with another participant and exchange critiques as a way to put theory into practice. You’ll be taught how to evaluate an ending and guide the writer to opportunities to deepen the ending.

If you don’t have a manuscript that you want to share (and remember it doesn’t need to be polished) then you can absolutely audit this class and still apply the lessons to your own ending.
