Creating Scenes that Move the Story with Desiree Kannel

Arts & Culture Classes Literature Storytelling

What’s Happening?

In this 4-hour workshop, writers will analyze scenes from their own work and learn how to decide what to cut and what to revise. We will discuss scene structure, effective transitions, and how to let character motivation drive the plot instead of the author’s agenda. Writers will leave with a better sense of what may be missing from their work-in-progress and tips on how to move forward. This workshop will include exercises on dialogue and setting. Each student will be asked to bring a scene from their own work to be revised in class.

This course is open to fiction writers of all skill levels, 18+. Writers who have written the first draft are encouraged to attend.

WORKSHOP DATES: Saturday, Dec 2, 10am-2:30pm CST (with 30-minute lunch), Hybrid (via Zoom and in-person at Gemini Ink)

COST: Nonmember: $105; Member: $90; Student/Educ/Mil $75

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
