What if the real story isn’t the story at all? In this workshop, we’ll
mine the gaps—deleted scenes, background characters, and unresolved
aftermaths—to uncover narratives that traditional storytelling ignores.
Write the therapist’s notes for a fairy-tale villain. Draft the grocery
list left in the getaway car. Reveal the untold truth behind a personal
memory.
Takeaways:
- Identify and exploit the hidden potential in narrative margins
- Develop techniques for implied storytelling (what’s not said)
- Transform fragments into stand-alone pieces with emotional weight
For writers of fiction, memoir, and genre-defying work.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
