Genre Structure Classic Workshop

The basics of writing genre of all types.

Taught by one of the most prolific writers working in modern fiction, Dean Wesley Smith (with the help of Kristine Kathryn Rusch). Over the years they have written upwards of two hundred novels each, plus hundreds and hundreds of short stories and nonfiction books and articles.

And they have written and published novels in just about every genre. Each genre has a unique structure. This workshop helps you understand the difference between a mystery novel structure and a romance novel structure and everything between.

This workshop will also help you understand how and where to market your work. Until you know what you have written, you won't know how to sell it.
