JULY 10: WHY EXCELLENT OPENINGS FAIL…AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD
Standard opening advice includes hook, ordinary world, inciting incident, media res, busy characters…strategies of only momentary interest, or none at all. What does work? Learn how the story spell is woven in this hands-on webinar. (Bring your opening page, examples for discussion to be randomly chosen.)
AUGUST 21: WHAT MATTERS/WHAT DOESN’T ON THE PAGE
Most manuscript pages record the flow of action—and much of that is low interest for readers. What keeps readers glued to every page? Go beyond micro-tension to discover the methods of high-interest dialogue, actions that intrigue, interiority that fascinates, sentences that get highlighted and more. (Bring your manuscript, sample pages to be randomly chosen for discussion.)
SEPTEMBER 18: STAKES AREN’T WHAT YOU THINK THEY ARE
Raise the stakes! Not so fast. What stakes? There’s more than one kind, and not all are equally compelling. Discover new dimensions of stakes—and how to develop them—in this hands-on webinar.
OCTOBER 16: LOG LINES: THE EMOTIONAL HEART OF STORY
Log lines are more than just a necessity for your query. They define and elevate what makes your story heart-grip and matter. Go beyond generic formulae to discover what in your story is unique yet universal, urgent yet timeless, the core appeal that is the real reason everyone will want to read your novel.
