Join local author and professor of history at Stonehill College, Dr. James Wadsworth, for a special creative writing workshop on story structure on Saturday February 7th at 11:00 in the Program Room. Most would-be authors have a good sense of what a story is and can identify stories that do not work. However, when asked to explain what went wrong, they may struggle to describe clearly what they perceived intuitively. Knowledge of story structure and how to apply it to our own writing is key to improving our craft and creating stories that readers find satisfying. In this course, I will explain why story structure matters and provide a practical analysis of the three-act story structure so common in Hollywood films and best-selling novels. Understanding story structure is more than simply having a beginning, a middle, and an end. Story structure gives us the tools to organize, analyze, and revise our stories to produce the maximum emotional impact on the reader. This workshop is free to attend and no registration is required.
