Class Description

For writers who want to kickstart a commercially-minded career, this creative writing intensive will be taught online by acclaimed author Zoraida Córdova (Star Wars: Convergence, The Brooklyn Brujas Trilogy, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina). Students enter with a great novel idea or draft, then leave with vetted sample chapters, a plot outline, and a query pitch letter. Students will engage in peer review of their writing and experience lectures on the publishing industry (from drafting, to editing, to agents and editor relationships, to book production and promotion). Students can also expect class visits from experienced agents and editors. All fiction genres welcome, no prerequisites required. Students also gain access to the LIU Writing Society, a new community of exclusive chats and events.
