Helen Hagemann’s prose class on Friday 21st February @ 10.00am is in Room 2.
On 21st March & 4th April we will be in Room 3.


The class will read 2 small chapters from The Bride Stripped Bare by anonymous (really it’s Nikki Gemmel!). Writers will gain insights into how Gemmel sustains a novel written wholly in the 2nd person point-of-view. There will be a quick quiz and a writing exercise on the 2nd person POV. This will help writers decide their voice for either a short story or novel chapter. All members are welcome to listen to our prose writers for the 1st hour. Free!

Our Monthly Critiquing
First hour of the class will be a critiquing session. Writers are reminded to bring a 2 page, double spaced “scene/chapter” of a novel, or 2 pages of a short story.
PLEASE NOTE:  Please bring enough printed copies to distribute to your fellow writers.

Day: Friday, 21st February, 2014
