Whether you're writing a novel, short story, memoir, stage play, or screenplay, this boot camp will show you how to craft a great narrative scene-by-scene. It's a hands-on event that provides personalized feedback on your story structure and plot.
The agents of Talcott Notch Literary Services share the secrets of creating a story structure that works - no matter what your genre - in this entertaining and informative online event. Following are the details of what happens during the event:
On Friday, October 12 you will receive access to a special online tutorial created by author and senior literary agent Paula Munier. During this presentation, Paula will detail how your work's theme and variations on that theme determine your main plot as well as your sub-plots. You'll learn how to break your story down accordingly, scene by scene, forming a blueprint by which you can devise the most compelling version of the story you want to tell. In addition to the tutorial, you'll also receive two special templates designed to help you quickly develop the theme-based three-act structure you need to engage and entertain your readers.
After watching the tutorial, you'll sketch out a story structure for your own project using one of the templates OR write a synopsis (500 words or less) and submit it to your assigned Talcott Notch agent for review. The deadline for submission is NOON ET, Thursday, October 18.
The submission will then be reviewed by the agent, who will provide a personalized critique of your work by noon, Sunday, October 21. This critique will give you insights into what's working in your story, what's not, and how you can improve it. Informed by these comments, you'll revise the story structure throughout the day on Sunday. You'll have the opportunity to ask the agents questions via a live message board (open from 4:00 PM to 7:00 pm ET on Sunday, October 21), then finalize your revision and resubmit it for one last review no later than 10:00 pm ET Monday, October 29.
The Talcott Notch agents will spend the next few days reviewing the revised submissions. Once finished, they will send a final note assessing your revision efforts by no later than 10:00 pm ET, Monday, November 5. Please note that these comments are brief, and not meant to act as a second critique.
By the time you finish this one-of-a-kind plotting primer, you'll be armed with the blueprint you need to help craft an effective first draft from page one to The End.
BONUS:
Free with your purchase of this boot camp, you will get an ebook version of Paula Munier's [Plot Perfect](
).
PLEASE NOTE:
To illustrate superior examples of plot and structure, Paula will reference The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett throughout her webinar. Although it's not necessary to be familiar with the story, she recommends that attendees either read the novel or watch the movie prior to the boot camp in order to get the most out of the event.
Paula also recommends that you have 60 blank index cards on hand. Though they aren't required, you'll find them a great help for brainstorming ideas and writing down scene details. You can then use these cards to keep track of your scenes and easily reorder them to work out the best possible structure for your story.
