Fully Fledged

A 3-phase novel incubator Course

About Fully Fledged

Online through Zoom

An intensive, intimate full-length manuscript incubator designed for our senior Fledglings. This is a special course uniquely tailored to each group of students based on the work they bring to the nest.

Fully Fledged is a three-phase process mixing craft lessons, traditional workshopping, and prompt writing sessions.

Come equipped with first 30-50 pages of your project. We’ll spend 5 weeks working on short manuscript reviews and writing together, then 3 weeks learning and drafting, before we reconvene to workshop entire manuscripts (up to 250 pages). Along with 13 sessions, you’ll receive a writing log calendar during Phase Two to keep you accountable and a full individual manuscript review from Sammi and your peers.
