In this class, we will work on ways to use small conflicts to keep a story moving.
First, we need to work out why certain tropes attract readers and what their expectations are. Then this workshop will discuss subverting tropes and reinventing approaches, without losing emotional buy-in from the reader.
If you’re like most writers, you’ve probably taken a number of classes and read even more about writing snappy dialogue. That’s not this class. This class will focus on using dialogue to define your fictionals.
Why compete in a saturated market?
In this class we’ll look at alternative ways to sell your work, everything from lesser-known bookselling sites to setting up your own bookstore.
Learn how to make your villain the best he/she can be!
In this workshop, we’ll drill down into the different facets of your characters’ emotional arc and how it is both the spine (structure) and heart (feelings) of your story.
I’ll show you how to plunge your reader into your setting and making it as real as your own backyard.
You’ll learn the basics of settings—time, place, and mood—and from there, you’ll discover how to research you story’s world.
