A creative writing course from Blue Stoop, a fiscally sponsored project of CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia.

9 Tuesdays, 10/6 – 12/1 | 6:30–8:30 pm ET | In-Person @ CultureWorks

Every November, thousands of writers attempt to write a 50,000-word novel in a single month. This 9-week, in-person course will guide students through the process with motivation, information, and accountability.

Perfect for those with a novel idea, a work in progress, or the desire to start from scratch, this class will include tips on building a routine, outlining (or not), and revision. Students can expect interactive craft lectures, regular progress check-ins, individualized support, short readings, community-building discussions, and a private end-of-semester reading with snacks.
