The Book Year Writers’ Circle runs from January-December and is open to narrative writers in any genre, welcoming early-stage books as well as mostly-drafted books that need a boost to reach their ideal versions. We frame our books in the spring, expand the books into solid drafts by summer’s end, revise the books throughout autumn, and finish in winter by meeting with publishing professionals to learn to connect our books to the world. We meet 40 weeks throughout the year, using free-writes, discussion, book-building exercises, and critical reading to start, create, and finish deliberately written books. You will emerge from this experience with a finished or substantially drafted book; a dedicated writing practice; a set of sturdy craft tools; a revision system tailored to your strengths; mastery of an effective method for giving feedback; confidence in the business side of being an author; and a big-hearted community of fellow writers. This writing community caps at 16 writers and is held on zoom.
