A Workshop Presented by the Meadville Council on the Arts
No matter what genre you write in, good fiction comes from the basics. Multi-published and award-winning authors Babs Mountjoy and Kathy Otten, will lead this workshop, full of discussion, models, exercises and fun, too! Sessions will include— INTRO TO CREATIVE FICTION-WRITING - Bring a short piece to share, and we'll learn each other's writing inspirations. DIALOGUE- We'll look not only at how to write believable conversations, but how they enhance your story. INCREASING CONFLICT AND TENSION IN YOUR STORY- Do you want to write a story your reader can't put down? We'll examine what conflict is and how it drives the story. DIVERSITY IN YOUR FICTION – We’ll use exercises like those in Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward's, Writing the Other, and other sources to expand your thinking about using characters of other race/class/ethnicity in your stories. PACKING AN EMOTIONAL PUNCH - We'll talk about ways to show how a character feels through visceral reaction and fresh description that will ramp up your reader's investment in the story. WEAVING AN ALTERNATIVE SETTING INTO YOUR STORY- Learn how transport your readers to another era or alternate world without sounding like a text book. Classes will be held on Tuesdays, At the Meadville Market House March 26th through April 30th 2013 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Members-$60.00 Non-members $65.00 For more information contact Meadville Council on the Arts Phone & Fax (814)336-5051 Or to reserve and mail in your payment before the limited seats are gone, send to: Meadville Council on the Arts P.O.Box 337 Meadville PA 16335 Questions? artscouncil@zoominternet.n |
