Lit Fest - Lighthouse Writers Workshop 2026

Most workshops focus on the first part of a novel, but the ending is as important. In this critique session, we will specifically critique the last chapter of your work without requiring people to read an entire manuscript.

To participate, each student will submit a synopsis, the first page, the middle page (yes, the page in the exact middle of the manuscript), and the last chapter. Before the workshop, students will be required to read two other participants materials. You'll be taught how to evaluate an ending and guide the reader to opportunities to deepen the ending.
