SUMMARY:How to Write a Page-Turner: A Workshop for Fiction\, Memoir + Narrative Nonfiction Writers
DESCRIPTION:Red Brick Center for the Arts \nHigh tension is probably the No. 1 reason readers keep reading. Whether you’re writing fiction\, memoir or narrative nonfiction\, if you can keep your reader on the edge of his or her seat by creating and maintaining tension throughout scene after scene\, that reader will stay up way too late reading your book and tell all his friends to go out and buy it. In this workshop\, we’ll delve into the interplay of all the elements that raise tension and create conflict and explore how to craft your story to capitalize on each within scenes as well as across your entire plotline. The workshop will include short readings\, craft discussion and lots of writing prompts. \nSpecial price for Aspen Writers’ Network members: $40. Non-members: $95. \nRegistration is closed and the workshop is at capacity. Please email Ellie Scott to be added to the waitlist.

SUMMARY:Fiction Writing Workshop with Daryl Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Pitkin County Library in Aspen \nAward-winning author Daryl Gregory’s college acting teacher once told him that you can’t play running from a bear—you can only run to what’s going to save you: the tree\, the shotgun or that spot just past your slower brother Louie. In this workshop you’ll learn how to create compelling stories by focusing on the essence of drama: characters who want something specific and fail to get it–or realize it’s not what they needed after all. Through exercises and discussion you’ll learn practical techniques for creating dynamic plots\, believable characters and scenes that matter.
