Workshop/Event Description

Before jumping into polishing scenes or rearranging chapters, it helps to know whether the core elements of your story are working: what your character wants, what makes that desire difficult, and what meaningful decision the story ultimately demands.

Through short guided exercises, you’ll use three practical questions to examine plot, character, stakes, and emotional arc. What is driving the story forward? What obstacles, pressures, or costs make the journey matter? And what does the character choose or do by the end that they could not have done at the beginning?

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of your draft’s big-picture strengths and gaps, plus one focused next step for revision. Bring a story, novel, memoir, essay, or narrative nonfiction project to work with.
