This newly honed seminar intensive - when combined with customized pre-seminar development assignments (from Novel Writing On Edge) and the Algonkian post-seminar novel writing step program - effectively addresses a commercial novel foundation in terms of premise, plot, and six act two-goal progression; pre-publication novel marketing in terms of title, genre choice, comparables, and pitch; and finally, focus on vital branch elements including protagonist and antagonist creation, scene choice and design, prose style technique, narrative verve, foreshadowing, exposition, pinch points, theme, and more. The aforementioned are also nuanced and filtered by faculty depending on each writer's genre.
To emphasize in context, productive reaction, discussion, and critique are not group driven, but delivered by professionals working in tandem. In addition, seminar benefits include the Algonkian 86-page study guide on novel writing and a professional sell sheet containing all the elements necessary to pitch professionals online or at conference.
This upcoming seminar takes place on March 10, 2021. Seminars run over the course of one day, beginning at 9:30 AM EST and usually concluding between 5 - 6 PM EST. They will be conducted online utilizing video conferencing technology. Algonkian and New York Pitch choose Zoom because it is a proven platform, and instructions are simple and clear.
