Workshop Description: This workshop will teach poets and creative nonfiction writers how to begin a novel project. We’ll talk practical strategies as well as discuss writing into uncertainty, following the energy, and using our own lives as a jumping-off point for fiction. Writers will leave with an understanding of how to craft a compelling scene and how place, ideas they’re interested in exploring, and character can give rise to plot that propels a book-length project.
About the Teaching Artist: Eryn Sunnolia (she/they) is a second-year MFA student at Rutgers-Camden University, where they also teach writing to undergraduates. Their writing has been published in Electric Literature, River Teeth’s Beautiful Things, HuffPost, Well+Good, Vast Chasm Magazine, TINGE, and others. Their flash essay “Substitute” was recently nominated for Best American Essays 2025, and they are currently working on a novel.
