Intensive + Discussion : Keys to Story-building Success

After Lorin's fall 2022 talk for us on Maximizing your Premise, we wanted to go deeper into the topics she raised. This intensive breaks those areas open with four, 90-minute sessions on story building, delivered over Zoom. Classes will also include short in-class exercises, plus take-home exercises for participants to complete on their own. Each class includes up to 15 minutes for questions. In addition, all participants will have access to the 2022 class (in fact, we hope you will view it in advance of the sessions!).

1: Making the Most of Your Story World

2: The Protagonist as Catalyst 

3: Organic Plotting

4: Building Reader Empathy and Anticipation

The Intensive + Discussion also includes four discussion group calls, led by Lorin, one for each webinar class. You will complete homework exercises and bring them to the session for feedback, questions and discussion. Lorin will also provide additional light feedback to participants in the group's workspace after the calls (should you want to adjust the homework based on feedback). 

This intensive is geared toward writers in all stages of novel development where building the strongest, most dimensional story is the goal -- this includes new projects and projects in the midst of revision.
