Scene Writing Workshop

with Jennifer Lang

Monday, September 16, 18:00 – 21:00

 

A scene is like a single member of a family – it is loved for its own individuality – but its greatest power is its contribution to the larger group. ~ Raymond Obstfeld, Novelist’s Essential Guide to Crafting Scenes

This workshop is suitable for anyone contemplating, intending, or already in the process of writing a memoir or novel. We’ll delve into the nuts and bolts of scenes—what they entail, why they’re important, how to construct them. We’ll read and study scenes from works by Ann Hood, Kerry Corrigan, Ann Packer, and Jenna Blum, as well as do writing prompts to help us understand when and how to use scene in our own writing. This workshop is suitable for writers of all genres.

Details:  410nis; non-refundable if you cancel within one week of the workshop and your place cannot be filled; includes light snacks and refreshments.
