Launch into writing with guidance from four of Oklahoma’s star authors. 2-hour sessions of writing tips, industry insights, and suggestions for writers whether beginners or experienced professionals.
Lou Berney will conduct this writing workshop on plot. He says, "You can’t have a story without a STORY, and an understanding of narrative structure and movement is liberating, not restricting. In this workshop we’ll look at the ways in which writers can start, and keep, the wheels of fiction turning."
Registration is suggested. Sign up for one or more in the workshop series. Here is the schedule for the series of mini writing workshops.
Lou Berney is the author of November Road (a Washington Post Best Book of 2018), The Long and Faraway Gone (winner of the Edgar, Anthony, Barry, Macavity, and ALA awards), Whiplash River, and Gutshot Straight,all from William Morrow. He’s also written a collection of stories, The Road to Bobby Joe, and his short fiction has appeared in publications such as The New Yorker, Ploughshares, and the Pushcart Prize anthology.
