Advanced Craft Classes in general...
The goal in nine weeks is learn about an area of the craft of fiction writing in depth.
There will be eight assignments, one each week for the first eight weeks that will help you learn.
Dean and Kris have put these classes together. They will not be easy, but they will be worthwhile for your writing.
You can get the ones that interest you or that you think you need help on, or you can buy the entire year for a discount and take them all.
For 2023, the classes are:
ADVANCED PACING

UNPUTDOWNABLE
These will be repeated every year going forward in the same two month period of time.

ADVANCED CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT... March and April, 2025.
Character is the core of any story, not only to help your story seem real, but to hold readers into the story because they care about a character. There are many, many advanced lessons about how to develop a character to study and practice over the nine weeks.
This workshop starts on Tuesday, March 4th and runs for nine weeks with assignments due each week on Sunday evening.
