Draft! Craft! Repeat! - Outlining Reoutlining!

Welcome to Draft, Craft, Repeat!

Join us for a virtual event where you can draft new ideas, craft your work in progress, and repeat until it's ready to submit!

Writers who come to DCR say:

"It's really made a difference"

"I'm no longer stuck"

"It's unlocked my story"

Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, this monthly get together is perfect for anyone looking to unleash their stories. Get ready to experiment with all aspects of writing craft from character to structure, and share with a community of like-minded supportive writers.

SEPTEMBER'S THEME - Writing your outline or reoutlining. At some point you are just going to have to get the beats of your story / collection / memoir down. And we avoid this because we don't want to commit. But outlining is a bit like finding a religion to rebeal against. You need to look at the causal relationships between your scenes, the conflicts between your characters and how they grow and if you feel resistance - then pull back, rethink, reoutline. It's an art and a skill that feels painful but once you exercise that muscle I promise you'll learn to enjoy it!

Workshop designed and facilitated by award winning author, poet and playwright, Carmen Marcus, author of HOW SAINTS DIE, Vintage and winner of the FABER NEW PLAY AWARD 2023. Her writing takes us on magical real journeys through mythic landscapes.

See you there!
