Service Description
Workshop Information: In this class, I will help attendees deeply analyze and revise the first 5,000 words of their manuscripts, with a special focus on elements of writing great fantasy, including magic systems, world-building, and making fantasy personal. We will also pay attention to character development, strong plotting, prose, voice, and pacing. I work hard to foster a positive class environment, and in that vein, I encourage discussions that focus on what each writer is doing well, not only what he or she can do to improve. I’m confident our class will enjoy an exceptional week of learning together!
