Story structure is like a suspension bridge: if the parts aren't working together, the whole thing will collapse. But get structure right from the start, and half your work as a novelist or screenwriter is done.

What you'll learn:

  • The Three Act model and why it works
  • The Doorways of No Return that compel readers to read on
  • The importance of the opening disturbance
  • The key to making conflict work
  • Secrets for crafting a knock-out ending

How does the critique work?
The live audio is delivered over your telephone or computer speakers. The Power Point presentations and desktop or document sharing are presented over the Internet. This is like a talk-radio program with visuals on the Web. You'll be able to have a live Q&A chat with the speakers.

Who should attend?

  • Novel-length fiction writers
  • Screenwriters
  • Creative writing instructors

The Buzz About Margie

Margie Lawson's workshop, Empowering Characters' Emotions, was just what I needed to infuse extra oomph into my WIP. It's amazing what a handful of highlighters and some out-of-the-box thinking can do.  Her exercises on the four levels of emotion not only helped my characters, but empowered me as well.”

Susan Gee Heino, "Mistaken By Moonlight" -- 2008 Golden Heart finalist, Regency Historical Category

Favorite Quote:

I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.
