Jumpstart your book project by delving into plot structure, the inner and outer journey, character development and growth arcs, world-building, high-concept ideas, theme, voice, tone, genre, narrator types, point-of-view tips, the writer's toolbox, and much more. We will also discuss insider secrets to getting published by traditional NYC publishing houses, working with an agent, and self-publishing. New material explores "The Geometry of Storytelling," and we will create a full "Plot in a Day." This ten-week workshop will challenge novices and pros alike to reexamine their ideas on how to write a bestseller.
