What is a CLASSIC+ Workshop?

You can go through the workshop at your own pace AND still turn in all the assignments and receive feedback from Kris & Dean.

ART OF THE NOVELLA: Science Fiction

Kristine Kathryn Rusch not only sells her novellas, she wins awards with them. More than 20 so far, and she's still writing more than three sf novellas a year. Learn from her and  internationally bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith how to specifically write science fiction novellas that will capture a reader and never let them go.

At Your Own Pace (CLASSIC+) Workshop Schedule
Videos, Homework and Writing Your Novella for Kris & Dean

This workshop has 9 "weeks" of classes with homework assignments at the end of each of them - including writing a novella - though you can watch the videos and do the assignments at your own pace.

Though the workshop is "Classic" and at your own pace, CLASSIC+ means you can still turn in the assignments to Dean & Kris, and one of them will read the novella you write at the end of the workshop. And you will receive direct feedback on all assignments and your novella.

However, to turn in your novella you must have completed and submitted all 8 of the previous assignments. Then you will have 1 month from the date you turned in that 8th assignment to write and submit your novella (15K-35K words) for Kris or Dean to read and submit feedback.

Once the workshop is completed, access to all the videos in the workshop will remain open to go back, watch and review at your leisure. 

 

About the ART OF THE NOVELLA Workshop Series

To write a great novella in a genre means meeting the story expectations and structure unique to that specific genre. From pacing, to setting, character arcs, and many other quirks. Writing a novella in any genre is an art form.

The Art of the Novella workshop series not only includes genre specific teaching in each workshop, you also will write your own novella in that genre that you will submit to award-winning editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch to be personally and privately read, commented on and submitted back to you.

There are four genres available in the workshop series: Fantasy, Romance, Mystery and Science Fiction. These workshops are available for purchase individually or grouped together for a discount.

Learn the art of novella writing from writing masters and internationally bestselling authors Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.
