New York Writers Workshop FIRST STORIES: A Workshop in Fiction and Narrative Nonfiction with Tim Tomlinson
Dec. 7th, 2019
Saturday
2:00-5:00 pm
$55.00
In this three-hour intensive on writing (fiction, memoir and personal essay) we'll consider some storytelling basics (setting, character, incident) and look at samples of narrative prose that illustrate those basics. Well use the samples as prompts for in-session exercises that, when put together, begin to move the way stories move: by raising questions, and by delaying answers. After this workshop, participants will have a firm grasp on storytelling approaches and a couple of drafts of new material for further development.
