This course is for anyone 50 and above who wants to write a novel. It doesn’t matter if you’re zero or a hundred pages into your first draft -- everyone is welcome. We’ll be reading several novels as a class as well as workshopping chapters of your novels-in-progress.

Writing a novel is lonely work, and our class will give you the encouragement and moral support to keep writing.

Instructor Allie Tova Hirsch, a novelist and recent graduate of the Helen Zell MFA Program at the University of Michigan, will lead two hour sessions on Fridays from September 22 through December 15 (except November 24).
