6pm-7:30pm – Building Narrative Tension
\n<\/strong>Regardless of the genre (SF, fantasy, or horror), narrative tension is crucial to a successful story.\u00a0 To succeed as writers, we must hold our reader’s interest, keep that reader wondering what will happen next and why, and maintain tension right up to the final page.\u00a0 Drawing examples from successful stories and novels, this 90-minute workshop provides practical techniques for grabbing and maintaining reader interest. $15.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

8pm-9:30pm – Characterization and Dialogue
\n<\/strong>This workshop will begin with the basics of dialogue and character development and move forward to explore effective ways of conveying taut, active characterization. $15.<\/em><\/p>\n

1pm-2:30pm – The Devil is in the Details
\n<\/strong>When asked where he got his ideas, Anton Chekhov picked up an ashtray and said: “Right here! Tomorrow I shall write a story about an ashtray.” He knew that story details and stories are all around us. The trick lies in selecting and using those details effectively.\u00a0 This module will reveal those tricks through the careful examination of genre models and writing exercises designed to help you jumpstart your next writing project. $15.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll also be taking part in the following panels: \u201cBalance – in Writing, in Life,\u201d \u201cMaking a Living as a Writer,\u201d and \u201cStarting in Writing.\u201d Come join the discussion!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
