Course Information

Telling vs Showing -
Immersing Your Reader in Scene
Pivotal moments in your novel need to be brought alive through scene, but too many writers confuse telling with showing, and exposition with dramatization.

What is a scene? What are scene goals? How do you plan and write a scene, making it come alive for the reader while minimizing exposition? How do you use scenes to both further the plot and reveal character? And when is exposition acceptable?

Online course via Zoom is on the 2nd of June from 6:30pm- 9pm EDT. Class will be recorded in case you can't attend it.
