Overview
What you will study
You might be asking yourself what the difference is between a novella and a novel. That's good. A curious mind is one of the hallmarks of a skilled writer. The answer is simple: length. The novella is generally shorter than a novel but both are considered long-form fiction, which is exactly what you'll be studying here.
By the end of the Writing a Novella course offered by Concordia University Montréal, you will have completed an outline and a portion of your novel or novella. From there, you'll move on to the next chapter in your new life as an aspiring writer.
