Ready to Join a Workshop?
If you can’t wait to turn the page, the writer has succeeded in telling you a great story. What does it take to develop characters, settings, dialogue, and plot elements that have you on the edge of your seat? This workshop answers those questions and more! We’ll breakdown the parts of fiction writing each week and test out what we’ve learned with some on-the-spot writing. You’ll work with your peers, too — giving advice and feedback, while hearing what they have to say about your work.
Not only does this workshop make you a better writer, but when you understand the process, it makes you appreciate your favorite writers even more. Don’t leave us on the edge of our seats — register now for this workshop!
Whether it’s throwing the dice, shuffling cards or plotting your
next move, everyone loves to play games. In this workshop we
are taking it a step further – you’ll invent your own game.
Create
your own characters, design the setting and develop the plot,
then we’ll apply these elements into your game. And yes, we’ll
be making the pieces, boards and/or cards needed to play your game, so get ready! From D&D devotees to Candy Land aficionados, this workshop is open to every level of gamers.
¡Siempre hay más que aprender, escritores de ficción! Ven a desarrollar las habilidades que ya tienes y profundiza en las cualidades que dan a las mejores historias un toque especial de POP.
¡Cualquier género de ficción que prefieras (histórico, fantástico, realista, etc.) es bienvenido! Nos centraremos en los pequeños detalles que harán que tu escritura pase de buena a excelente: diálogos naturales y basados en los personajes; ritmo adecuado; incidentes incitantes; aumento de la apuesta; giros argumentales; y, por supuesto, el arte del final satisfactorio. Buscaremos inspiración en nuestros escritores de ficción favoritos y descubriremos nuevas obras que merezcan tu atención.
Este taller es para escritores que están familiarizados con los conceptos básicos del personaje, el escenario, la trama y la descripción, y desean seguir creciendo. ¡Pero no es tan serio como parece! Tú eres el plan de estudios, ¡solo tienes que dar todo tu ser!
*Este taller es posible gracias a una asociación con Ava's Smile, en honor al legado de creatividad y compasión de Ava Hecht. *
