The Novel Journey
Discover How to Write a Novel You’re Really Proud of in One Year
The Novel Journey is a year-long novel-writing and author-development experience that takes writers from page one to “the end.”
Write your novel while growing as a writer without impossible word count goals, bending your story into someone else’s plot formula, or sacrificing your voice or vision for genre expectations.
In this week’s episode of the Story Works Round Table, Alida and Kathryn are joined by Stephen Ford to talk about exploring hard human issues through fiction. Stephen’s use of speculative fiction and satire opens the discussion about what it means to be human, or how we encounter the issues of the day. We talk about crafting characters that are real people, representing a variety of viewpoints, how to get those viewpoints on the page, and how to keep it open for readers to be a part of the conversation happening in the book.
