How to Finish Stories

Date: December 15, 2024
Location: online
Cost:$59

Overview

It’s easy to start a story, but often much harder to finish it. Many authors accumulate folders stuffed with story starts and regrets. In this class, you’ll learn strategies for figuring out those missing middles and ends, and apply them in-class to several projects. A mixture of lecture, discussion, and in-class exercises ensures that you’ll come away well-prepared to finish some of those abandoned projects.

To register, mail me at cat@kittywumpus.net, indicate whether or not you are a Patreon supporter for the discounted price, and how you would like to pay.

Free scholarships: If you cannot afford a class but really want to take one, apply for a Plunkett Scholarship. Each class has three slots reserved for such students, and the sole criteria is only that you can’t currently afford the class. To apply for a Plunkett, which covers the entire cost, fill out this form and tell me why you want to take the class in 100 words or less. QUILTBAG and PoC candidates are especially encouraged to apply.

Patreon rate available if you support at a certain level. Visit https://www.patreon.com/catrambo to get your coupon code.
