Novel Workshop--spring 2026

Hi everyone! After a little break, it’s time to schedule the next 12-week Novel Workshop!

I’m opening up applications for a spring Novel Workshop. The workshop cost is $1200 and will run from 7-9pm EST on Wednesday nights from April 8-June 24.

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?

I also have space for 2 manuscript read/edits in late spring. If this is something you’re interested in, please email me to discuss prices 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
