Events › Summer Starts at EPL: The Shape of a Story - How Plots Work

This interactive workshop will help demystify the structure of fiction — we know stories need a beginning, middle, and end, but how do authors build strong plots out of these three components? What would a plot look like if we drew it out? How can visuals help us improve our stories and make them easier and more fun to write? Join Writer in Residence Premee Mohamed to learn how to shape your story.
