About the Workshop:
A novel, according to Merriam-Webster, is a “narrative that is usually long and complex and deals especially with human experience through a usually connected sequence of events.” A connected sequence of events sounds simple enough. In execution, it is anything but. A successful scene requires specific skills that can take novelists a lifetime to master. In this one-hour in depth workshop we will explore:
• Scene types and their functions.
• The essential elements every strong scene needs.
• What set-piece scenes are in movies and how to use their structure to strengthen your novels.
• Tools for developing and vetting strong scenes from the start, so your revision time can be cut in half.

It wasn’t until she became a mom and began making up bedtime stories for her children that she finally realized what she was meant to do. Now Amy writes full-time from her home near Tampa, Florida, where she lives with her husband, their two daughters, and one ridiculously fat cat.
