Novel Workshop: The Nuts and Bolts of Novel Writing
Do you have a novel inside you waiting to emerge, but the idea of writing it seems
daunting? In this workshop, you will receive tips on how to start your novel and how to
keep the momentum going until the end. You will also learn the key craft points of novel
writing (plot, structure, point-of-view, setting, character, voice, etc.). There will be an
in-class writing exercise if time allows.

Hopefully this is not a repeat. If it is, my apologies. The National Latino Writing COnference has many talented writers and faculty prepared to discuss important information and issues regarding publishing and writing for Latinos. I hope many educators also attend to learn more about their potential students. True writers never attend school and learn along the way to find their voice and style.
Don’t miss this packed full of information event. If you can’t attend, connect with faculty to see if videos and transcripts will be available.
