SUMMARY:2024 Fall Writing Workshop with Mary Robinette Kowal (Two Workshops in One)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 6th\, 9am to 4pm (with a 1-hour lunch break). Mary Robinette Kowal will be teaching two of her most popular topics: \n Hiding Exposition in Plain Sight \nIn this workshop\, we learn how to give our readers all the information they need to know about the setting we created\, without drowning them in information. Together we learn the art of subtly expositing without showing our authorial hand. \nEndings: How to Wrap Things Up  \nVery often\, writers get to the two-thirds mark in a work and bog down\, sometimes abandoning it to move on to something shinier. Why does this happen? It’s a place at which we move from raising questions for the reader to needing to answer them. This change in mode requires a different set of tools than the beginning of a story\, while needing to appear part of a seamless whole. In this workshop\, we’ll look at how to wrap up loose ends\, decide which things we can leave dangling\, and what elements make a strong closing sentence. \nGeneral Admission: $95 | AWN Member: $35 \n \n  \nLearn more about the Aspen Writers Network (AWN) \nand become a member today!  \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR\nMary Robinette Kowal is the author of The Spare Man\,The Glamourist Histories series\, Ghost Talkers\, and the Lady Astronaut Universe. She is part of the award-winning podcast Writing Excuses and has received the Astounding Award for Best New Writer\, four Hugo awards\, the Nebula and Locus awards.
