ALL

Summary:

You have a story to tell, but what is the best way to tell it? The borderline between fiction and non-fiction is not as distinct as some would have it. There are techniques common to both, and hybrids that cross the boundaries in daring ways.

Details

At the heart of story, whatever the genre—novel, short story, memoir, family history, or biography—is the art of imagination, and the technique of scene construction, whether writing about place or character.

Explore the evolving structure of a story, and how to break the various blocks that can come up in the process.

You will learn

  • How to find the best way to tell your particular story
  • how to construct and move from scene to scene
  • ways of writing place and character
  • how to approach structure: the interplay between spontaneity and planning
  • the deeper meaning of imagination whether writing fiction or non-fiction.
