Through instruction, examples, and in-class writing, this class will help writers build the foundation they need to write their novel. From pre-writing to plotting to character arcs, students will learn about each of the elements of fiction and how to apply them in writing their novel.

Amanda Corbin is a local writer and mother with a background in journalism who holds creative writing degrees from Morehead State and the University of Kentucky.

This class is suitable for all levels.
