Advanced Plotting Tools and Techniques

4-week Course: Saturdays: July 10, 17, 24, and 31

2-3:30 PT (3 MT/4 CT/5 ET) via Zoom

$90 ($60 SWW members)

Many books and workshops teach the basics of plotting: conflict, complications, climax. Now learn advanced techniques that will make a decent plot dynamic. Start with a “grab you by the throat” opening to pull readers into the story. Learn how to pack the plot full by complicating your complications. Control your pacing through sentence and paragraph length. And finally, cliffhanger chapter endings ensure late-night reading under the covers. Learn techniques to make any story or book better. Every writer needs these techniques, whether you write action-packed mysteries, character driven romance, science fiction or fantasy with extraordinary world building, or even literary fiction and memoir.
