Blueprint Your Book: Fine-tuning the Fundamentals, with Susanne Dunlap

In this first workshop in the Blueprint Your Book Series, writers will explore fundamental questions necessary to determine a book’s purpose, shape and scope.  We will also begin to outline and hone our stories’ initial structures. Together, we’ll brainstorm these crucial elements, draft our answers, and receive encouraging, thoughtful feedback on our efforts. Writers of all fiction and memoir genres are welcome.

Saturday, January 9, 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ($75)
