Wednesday, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM ET

Whether you are writing fiction or nonfiction, whether you are working on short pieces or a book-length manuscript, whether you are an outliner or a pantser, at some point in the writing/revision process you have to make sure your story has a sound structure. We will look at multiple ways to structure a story to engage and keep the reader’s attention. We will also practice analyzing the structure of several stories.
