A Novel Approach to Fiction & Memoir

A NOVEL APPROACH provides the discipline, encouragement, craft development and collegial support to help you complete up to 60,000 words of your novel or memoir over a 40 WEEK period from September to June each year.

We have helped many writers finish their long projects and find publishers over the last fifteen years.

We are proud of our role in helping writers learn the craft of writing engaging memoirs and riveting novels by working side by side with them through the long, exciting process of completing first drafts, and then professionalizing their projects in A Novel Approach Second Draft or in a mentorship capacity. We have found that writers develop their own pace, from imagining new characters and exciting storylines in fiction, to bearing witness to their own personal life journeys and finding experiences there to share and help others discover themselves through memoirs.

And not every writer who joins our workshops started out with us.

Many writers who have unfinished novels or memoirs have come knocking on our door, and we always have space and enthusiasm for anyone who hopes to hold that finished book in hand and proclaim, “I DID IT!”

Our sister website, A NOVEL APPROACH.NET contains specific information about how we can help you write and finish your MEMOIR or NOVEL.
