Workshop: Crafting Narrative Drive with Ashley Kalagian Blunt
Tension on every page is the key to narrative drive, whether you’re writing fiction, memoir or any narrative work. In this practical workshop, participants will learn why narrative drive is essential to storytelling and discover how properly structured, tension-filled scenes create story momentum. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice through a series of exercises, giving them the confidence to begin applying their new skills right away, whether they’re starting a first draft or in the midst of revisions.
There will be writing exercises in this workshop, so bring something to write on – either a laptop or paper.
Tickets $165.00. Limited to 15 places. Snacks provided.
