Novel Workshop--Fall 2026

Hi everyone! I’m opening up applications for my next 12-week Novel Workshop. The workshop cost is $1200 and will take place 7-9pm EST on Wednesday nights from September 2-November 18.

Each student will have the chance to workshop three times, up to 100 pages each workshop. After the workshop, you’ll receive written feedback from me and we’ll have a call to talk about the critiques and workshop. The class will meet on Zoom and we’ll use Word or Google docs for submitting. We’ll also have a couple of classes dedicated to craft lessons.

The class will be limited to 6 students. If you’re interested in applying, please email with a 15-page excerpt of your novel and a brief answer to the question: What do you hope to get out of this class?

In mid-August, I’ll have some space open up for manuscript reads and one-on-one clients. If this is something that you’re interested in, please email me to discuss payment and options.

If you want to apply or have any questions about these classes, please email me at Jennifer.a.close@gmail.com and we can talk it over.

Also, if there’s someone that you know who you think would be interested in this class, please forward this email to them!

Thank you!

Jennifer
