Story Structure

  • The Patterson School Lenoir, NC (map)

In this interactive workshop, we'll explore how the arc of a plot affects - and is affected by - character motivation, scene pacing, thematic argument, and reader engagement. Whether starting a new project or revising a completed draft, writers will learn a variety of approaches to plotting an elegant and unforgettable story. 

The workshop will be part of a craft intensives day sponsored by Table Rock Writers Workshop at the historic Patterson School in Happy Valley, NC. For more details or to register, visit Table Rock Craft Intensives.

Note that Abigail Dewitt is also teaching a craft intensive on Character Development and Judy Goldman is teaching an intensive on Memoir. So if you don’t take mine, I hope you’ll consider one of theirs.
