Every great novel begins with an idea — but turning that spark into a compelling manuscript takes craft and intention. From Spark to Story is a four-week foundational fiction course guiding writers through the essential elements of novel-building, including premise, character, plot, structure, tension, dialogue, and voice.
Whether you’re starting fresh or working through an unfinished draft, this course offers practical tools, focused exercises, and professional insight to help you avoid common pitfalls and develop your idea into a novel-length story.
Led by award-winning author and MFA-level creative writing professor Mayra Cuevas, this workshop is ideal for beginning and intermediate writers ready to move from inspiration to execution.
