Webinar Summary
SCENE AND SENTENCE: the two levels of writing and revision
Scene and sentence. Story and language. What we write and how we write it. Linda Sue Park will talk about writing stories in scenes, then revising with deep attention to language, like a poet would. This workshop will be HANDS ON, so please bring with you the electronic file of a work-in-progress–at least 5-10 pages. Learn how to become your own best editor, and improve your manuscript on the spot!
The webinar as a whole will be most useful for longer forms, especially novelists and narrative nonfiction writers, though picture book writers are welcome to attend.
NOTE: This workshop was designed for computer use. Some of the exercises can be done by hand with paper and pencil, but for most of the session, we will be using word-processing techniques such as copy/cut/paste.
