Writing a Novel in Verse with Rebekah Lowell

Friday, November 15 -- 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Handwritten text on green background with images of books and flowersNovels in verse are stories told through free verse poetry. Instead of chapters, the narrative is shared though many poems that string together as a whole, but stand alone as their own poems. In this workshop, we will explore the craft of writing a novel in verse as Rebekah Lowell breaks down what worked for her while drafting and revising her novel in verse, The Road to After (Nancy Paulsen/Penguin). We’ll cover image systems, metaphor, form, structure, voice, point of view, and style. Rebekah will even give a short tour of Scrivener, the program she loves to draft in, and share a recommended reading list because if you want to write, you have to read. A lot. Join us and try your hand at the novel in verse! Ages 14+ welcome. Register below!
