Upcoming Workshop:

None at the moment.

Nail Your Novel

I don't have this seminar scheduled at the moment.

Here is the description:

A one day seminar and workshop toward the design of a saleable novel or memoir.

Through a scene by scene examination of books that have made both excellent novels and good movies, we will explore the design and function of the well structured story. A well structured narrative is the root of a compelling novel, memoir or screenplay. Using the principles presented in the seminar, we will in analyze your book-in-progress and apply transform your work into a clearly stated, dramatic story. By the end of the day you will have a functional novel summary and novel structure.

This class will be use to anyone either in the planning stages or at work revising a novel or memoir.
