From Idea to First Draft: A Writing Workshop for Aspiring (Teen) Novelists

Want to write a novel but don't know how to get started? Join award-winning YA author, Jamie Pacton, as she walks you through the process of going from idea to outline to first draft. Things we'll talk about in this workshop include:
 
*Finding an idea (they're everywhere!)
*Shaping a good idea into a story that can become a book. 
*Outlining using a 4-act structure
*Building emotional arcs and compelling characters
*Getting started drafting & what to do when the words won't flow
*Any other publishing and writing questions you might have.
 
This workshop is for writers at any stage of the process, and you can feel free to bring your work to discuss with other writers. Hopefully, you'll leave this workshop ready to dive into your story and get creating!
