Two-Week Intensive on Building the Compelling Scene

Are your scenes blah instead of blockbuster? Do they lag in the middle, or fall flat at the end? In this month-long intensive online class, you’ll learn how to:

  • Beef up your scenes
  • Add more conflict
  • Use every scene to raise the stakes
  • Strengthen characterization
  • Show instead of tell for maximum bang
  • Work with hooks to keep readers turning the pages
  • Tighten your pacing
  • Create scenes that are unforgettable and powerful

In this interactive class, you'll learn how to edit your own scenes and take them from okay to amazing. In-depth analysis of scenes that work will be part of the class, as will revision of students’ current work. Class will also offer hands-on critiques from the instructor, New York Times bestselling author Shirley Jump.
