Zoom: Secrets of Great Storytelling: Writing a Novel or Memoir that Sells!
View all Classes & WorkshopsOverview
Every well-told story - whether a novel or memoir - needs a great creative plan. An underlying "blueprint" that empowers the story with energy and interest and other storytelling skills.
As well, there are ways to develop memorable characters and riveting scenes that keep your readers turning pages.
This workshop intensive will span these all-important basics, and can launch your writing to new levels and help you on your way to success at selling your book to publishers.
What you'll need: A way to take notes and draw out your storyboard (an 8 1/2 x 11 pad will do); a quiet space to get online, free of distraction.
What you'll take away: A important, foundational skill set to use in both storyboarding and writing your book.
You can submit: a sample of a book in progress (up to 12 pages) or a one-page summary of your book concept (24-hour advance submission requested).
This class will be held via Zoom. After registration, the instructor will send you a Zoom link for you to attend this online class.
