SECRETS 

A day of building intrigue and depth

 in your writing with

Page Lambert and Rosie Sultan

  author of Helen Keller in Love

 

Have you ever noticed that characters in fiction, memoirs, and essays all seem to have secrets?  Have you sensed that secrets can add mystery, heft, and depth to your writing?  In this one-day workshop we'll work to discover your characters -or perhaps our own- essential secrets, those deep dark motivations that drive us to do what we do, and to write what we write. 

Helen Keller in Love, Rosie Sultan

 

We'll unearth the many ways secrets are used to develop plot, illuminate character, and make writing sing.  We'll use in-class writing exercises to spark our own writing: What is the one thing your character -or you- never told anyone?  What are your character's deepest dreams? The material you generate in class will be further developed in focused small groups that will provide feedback in a directed and generous form.

 

You'll take home new writing, a not-so-secret toolbox of exercises, and a clear sense of how to move your writing forward. We'll launch your writing in entirely new directions.  Join us!   All levels and genres welcome.  Here's the inside scoop...
