How do you structure a novel? The question may feel overwhelming, but most stories - despite their variations in theme, genre, and subject matter - follow certain "plot beats" that propel the action forward. In this class we'll explore the ten key scenes upon which a well-crafted story turns, from the opening image to the finale. Not all novelists need an outline - which can sometimes feel confining - but most benefit from crafting a solid story arc before they begin, understanding the essential places where a story turns, expands, and ultimately concludes. If you struggle with plotting and pacing, or have ever bogged down in the dreaded "muddy middle" of your novel, this is the workshop for you.

*This workshop is also suited to book-length nonfiction/memoir.

Answer a question, build your learning or brainstorm solutions. You choose what sessions to attend based on your interests.
