Structure This!

A 4-Week Writing Class: Fridays, Aug 14, 21, 28, & Sept 4

10-11:15am Pacific, via Zoom

Writers in the “mucky-middle” often grapple with the question: How should I structure this story?

Join Anni Kamola and Abby Kidd for a 4-week class on structure! In it we will explore story structures go beyond the traditional chronological arc. We will look to how shapes from nature can offer inspiration and structure for tension and movement. We will collaborate to identify structures and even try our hand at developing our own. We will write, revise, and share our own pieces in progress.

Come to experiment, leave with inspiration and tangible next steps. Let’s shine, hook, pull, delight, draw, amaze!
