SUMMARY:English Creative Writing Workshops: Write Your Novel in November
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a story to tell? Now is your chance to write it!\nInspired by the internationally popular National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)\, the Library’s English Creative Writing Circle is meeting every week in November with a focus on this writing challenge: to write a novel—that’s a minimum of 50\,000 words—in one month!\nGet support as you write each week at the sessions and in your own time. The sessions will include write-ins where we race against the clock to write as much as possible and a range of writing prompts to help get those words on the page. Writers of all levels of experience are welcome. \nOne lucky participant in this year’s challenge will win the opportunity to work one-on-one\, online\, with editor and seasoned publishing professional Meru Gokhale\, receiving a full manuscript review. \nPlease read the details below carefully to ensure that you can qualify to win. The winner will be chosen based on the criteria and conditions below as well as at the discretion of the selection committee. \nTo stand a chance to win a full review of their manuscript\, participants must meet the following criteria:\n\nThey must have written 50\,000 words between 1 – 30 November 2024.\nThe draft of the novel must have been written for the first time between 1 – 30 November 2024.\nThe manuscript must not have been submitted to any other platform.\nParticipants must have attended all four of the English Creative Writing for Adults: Write Your Novel in November sessions. \nParticipants must have attended at least one writing consultation with a Library writing instructor.\nParticipants must submit a 500-word synopsis about their novel before the deadline of 8 December 2024 (details about how to submit will be provided at the English Creative Writing for Adults' sessions).\n\nThe winner will be announced by 31 December 2024. \nPlease note that budding authors are not obliged to attend all the sessions; that is only a requirement to be in with a chance of winning the prize. \nMeru Gokhale will be joining us at the Library in November to deliver “Craft Your Book Proposal with Meru Gokhale: An Interactive Creative Writing Workshop”\, an intensive face-to-face workshop on how to develop the vision of your book\, write a synopsis and submit your manuscript to agents and publishers.\nThis workshop is open to everyone who registers; you do not have to take part in Novel November in order to attend.\nDate: Every Saturday from 2 to 23 November 2024 \nTime: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM\nLanguage: English \nTarget Audience: Adults \nSeats are limited\, please click the button below to register.
