One-Day Workshop
Story openings must accomplish multiple things at the same time. Ensuring your reader is fully grounded in your character and setting while at the same time moving action forward without slowing the pace is a huge challenge. Bring the opening page or two of your story to share and brainstorm specific techniques for drawing your reader in.
This class take place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre in Calgary.
