Novel Writing – final draft (excerpt) due November 17
Monthly writing contest offers cash prizes
Have you ever wanted to experience the world from a different perspective than your own? Live deep in an urban jungle, or on a farm surrounded by sheep? Grow up on a wildlife preserve, or come of age sailing the seven seas?
Writing a novel is about shedding your identity and inhabiting the experiences of an imagined character. But a novel also requires looking inward: drawing upon your own experience and interior life to find elements of the human condition that you can offer to your fictional characters.
This month, explore the human experience through writing, and share an excerpt with us.
