Writing a Novel - Structuring Your Novel
This intensive Masterclass with bestselling authors Russ Thomas and Susan Elliot Wright takes an in-depth look at the many different tools at your disposal for building the structure of your novel.
We’ll look at various techniques including: how to construct engaging and satisfying beginnings and endings; how to handle dual narratives and multiple viewpoints; how to use flashback, and other techniques, in order to reveal backstory and cover periods of time, and much more!
You'll be encouraged to discuss your ideas and thoughts throughout the day in a comfortable, friendly and supportive environment with two experienced professionals who know the publishing industry and how to write books that catch the attention of agents, publishers and readers.
The session will run from 10.00am until 4.30pm with a break for lunch (lunch not provided).
While designed to work as a standalone session, this is one in a series of informative and comprehensive novel-writing Masterclasses, designed to give you the tools you need to make real progress on your novel.
