Next class: Fall 2026

The Novel Workshop is an intensive class that is usually taught twice a year, in Fall and Spring, by Elizabeth Gaffney through A Public Space’s Academy. Each writer workshops their entire novel draft and reads nine other novels over 12 weeks. This class sells out. To find out when the next class is running, sign up for the APS newsletter.

From time to time, a small group of former students from either the Novel Workshop or Engines of Narrative, may convene to read each others’ prose manuscripts along with Elizabeth Gaffney. (Please inquire about rates for smaller groups and/or manuscripts longer that 90,000 words.) $2000
