Cara Kagan, author of The Rise, Fall and Return of Sarah Mandelbaum leads this exclusive summer writing workshop. Here's Cara's description of the workshop:

We all have a story to tell, and I want to help you tell yours. In this 7-week intensive workshop, we will explore all the essential components of crafting the best fictional novel or short story that we can in a warm, supportive, and humorous environment. There will be writing assignments each week. Topics will include how to:

* Find inspiration
* Stay motivated to write even when we don’t feel like it
* Develop our own unique, dynamic, and coherent voice (writing style)
* Build a captivating plotline
* Create compelling characters
* Construct believable, engrossing dialogue that advances the plot and enhances character development
* Write evocative and dynamic descriptions that “show” rather than “tell.”
* Get and receive feedback (it’s crucial!)
* Revise, revise, and revise again (it’s also crucial), yet stay true to our style and premise.
