Whether you are starting with a blank page or revising a beloved manuscript, story development is the key to crafting relevant and immersive fiction. Based on Author Accelerator's Blueprint for a Book, this eight-session course for writers of all levels will help you determine why you want to write a particular story, why the story's essential points and theme are important and provide a step-by-step process to build and ensure structure, meaning, and momentum to your story. Each class, led by author Joanna Cooke, will consist of mini-lessons as well as writing time. Topics include character development, outlining, editing and more.
