Congratulations! You've written an epic manuscript. What comes next? In this module, we’ll discuss some factors to consider in your writing career and overview a wide spectrum of possibilities for publishing. We will begin by discussing traditional vs indie publishing and hybrid options. Which is the right choice for your work? In small-group discussions, we will help you define your career goals, come up with strategies for resilience, and workshop blurbs to sell the sizzle in your narrative. More than that, though, this module is about celebrating your achievement that is your novel!

Novel in a Year Note: Anyone is welcome to join our Novel in a Year modules at any time (the only exception is Tree Workshop (Novel in a Year 11) which, while open to all who have a mature writing project ready for close scrutiny, is designed specifically for students who have completed at least 4 previous modules in the Novel in a Year sequence). Each module is designed to stand alone without prerequisites. However, for the richest experience, the full twelve-month sequence of modules will carry you from blank page through to completing your novel. In a writing journal, you will track your progress and moments of unexpected, joyful discovery as you continue your novel. Whether you are looking to publish commercially or simply writing for yourself, our program is designed to nurture your individual writing journey. Our workshops place kindness first, lifting up excellence and encouraging you to tell your story in your own voice.
