2024 Sackett Street Writers’ Workshop: Manuscript Generator II (novels, memoirs, story & essay collections)


Dates: May 22 to Sept 25, 2024, every other Wednesday
Location: Meetings via video
Time: 7-9pm EST

Fee: $1650.00

This 20-week section of Manuscript Generator is intended for writers who have participated in a previous MG class but new writers are welcome to apply.

This is a virtual class & video meetings are held every other week.

In this generative workshop, students have the opportunity to hand in chapters (up to 5000 words pages) every other week, and receive feedback from the instructor on these pages. The workshop is open to writers who have completed one or more chapters of a novel or memoir, as well as writers working on short story and/or essay collections. Writers participating in this course will learn how to recognize the successful techniques in their writing – what engages the reader, and how that success is achieved. Carefully planned lessons and online discussions will focus on analyzing the many choices (point-of-view, tone, characterizing details, pacing, etc.) a writer must make concerning structure, character and language. This course is intended for writers who have some experience writing and workshopping.

A writing sample is not required but recommended for this class.

A private conference with the instructor is included.
