This class is for anyone using narrative to create any work. Story Neighborhood helps writers, performers, speakers, and anyone using a story to create any work to discover the voice of their characters, pieces, and themselves.
Attendees will take away concrete tools of craft and wellbeing practices designed to keep the writer focused on the work and readers engaged and inspired by your story.
In this class, you’ll undergo the entire process, from jottings and driving questions, through early drafts, character sketches, outlines, and eventually arriving at a complete draft, along with strategies for revision.
Often when we talk about narrative perspective, we think about the distance between the text and the reader: are we reading in first, second, or third person? But there are other perspectives to consider.
Memoir Foundations will investigate how a memoir can dilate from the intimate idiosyncratic personal experience into other ways of knowing.
We’ll talk about how to mix genres and bend their “rules” to write memorable fiction.
In this workshop, we will discuss how the antagonist drives the plot.
Students will take part in discussion and writing exercises to learn the rules of picture book writing, common story arcs, and how to get published in this popular market.
