Elements of Fiction with Janis Cooke Newman October 28, 2007

In this hands-on workshop students will get a chance to test drive all the elements that go into creating a work of fiction, from short story to epic novel. We'll cover narrative structure, scene vs. summary, how to write believable dialogue, how not to write boring description, and when (and when not) to use flashbacks.
Come ready to write - and jump-start your fiction project!
