At the Monday October 28 session:

Tools for Storytelling: Viewpoint, Tense and Prose

Have you always wanted to write a novel, but you weren't sure where to start? In our Preptober workshop series, we'll give you tangible tools and advice to teach you how to write a novel, just in time for you to participate in National Novel Writing Month this November!

Many of us have no difficulty coming up with great stories; the challenge we face is how to tell that story in the most effective way so that we can fulfill that story’s potential. In this workshop, we’ll discuss some of the tools that you can use, to tell the truth at the heart of your story, and how to use those tools in a way that pulls your reader in.  More information at https://www.facebook.com/events/555277878561496/
