Structure Your Book

Saturday, October 4th 

10 – 12 EST

ONLINE OR IN PERSON 

Without a solid structure, both the reader and the author go into chaotic freefall. Structure should not be an aggressive imposition on a book, but rather it should be an outline into which you can confidently write. Rahla will explain “Freytag’s Pyramid”, which is a classic structure and also provide ideas of how to compartmentalize and store your work. Join class for explanations about the different forms of structure and gain the tools to create your own structure. This workshop is for both fiction and creative nonfiction writers. Come ready to learn.
