Autumn Character Arc Intensive

This creative writing workshop series will focus on editing and revising your in-progress work and offer exercises to keep you in flow. We've adapted to suit the needs of the writers and support the stages they are at in their work and life.

In this next workshop, we'll continue to talk about narrative concepts, examine each other's work, share ideas and edits, challenge each other, and cheer each other on.

Continuing students of Summer Plot Sprint will meet once a month over summer to focus on crafting dynamic characters and their arcs and move ahead with their books.

We still talk about plot a little bit, but this time we have a character arc focus— as writers work toward a deadline to complete a draft of their manuscripts.

We'll meet once a month over fall in person, on Saturdays and/or online as required. Writers will turn in 20-25 pages of material each month.

There will be weekly office hours, pep-talks and accountability. Every Friday at noon there is an office hour to attend and get support.
