Course Prerequisite: Students must have completed OWC 305: "Novel III." This course is not open to the public, but rather by admission only. For more information on the Online Writing Certificate Program and its application process, please click here.
This last core course will allow students to make sure their manuscript is in the best shape possible. The focus will be on drafting missing sections, redrafting chapters that workshops in the previous courses have shown to be problematic, performing line editing, or taking on any other activities the instructor and student feel will best advance the completion of the manuscript. Students will each create an individualized plan of action during the first week, then be placed into small groups where the instructor will facilitate the exchange of significant sections of the manuscripts in progress. Chat and bulletin boards will allow students to receive support from both the instructor and their peers on process and good work habits, and to exchange words of encouragement. The goal is for each student to enter the One-on-One Tutorial having already received the feedback of several peer readers.
