Writing In Scenes - Friday, March 13 - 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM ($15.00)

---

Instructor: Nancy Kress

Description: Is your story dramatic? Not melodramatic, but constructed and written to best capture readers’ (and editors’!) interest. Often, the critical difference between salable fiction and the almost-but-not-quite-there manuscript is dramatization—and dramatization, for the fiction writer no less than for the playwright, means constructing successful scenes. This workshop will use a combination of lecture, hand-outs, and brief writing sessions to cover scene construction, effective description within a scene, use of dialogue, different types of scenes, scene order, and that eternal problem, exposition. Learn how to give your story page-turning appeal.
