***This is a FREE workshop.***
Here’s a note from Amy Christine Parker:
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.
*Edited: This FREE workshop with Writer’s Atelier and Amy Christine Parker, the author of GATED, ASTRAY, and SMASH & GRAB, happened on May 23, 2020. You can now watch it for free on our YouTube channel via the above link!
