MFW FALL HARVEST WORKSHOP
Featuring Jessica Brody with "Save the Cat for Novelists"
Midwest Fiction Writers 2013 Fall Harvest of Writing Essentials
Jessica Brody Presents Blake Snyder's SAVE THE CAT!® story structure method
In this unique and engaging presentation, Jessica guides authors through the steps of using Blake Snyder's SAVE THE CAT!® story structure method to create engaging stories, compelling character arcs, and unputdownable novels. A majority of the presentation will focus on breaking down the heart of the SAVE THE CAT!® methodology: the "Blake Snyder Beat Sheet". These 15 "beats" (or plot points) are the key ingredients that make up ANY successful story and that no good novel should be without. Through examples from popular novels, films, and her own books, Jessica will demonstrate how the 15 beats can be used to turn a new story idea into a full-length, compelling book outline, help you crack your most recent rewrite, fix broken plotlines, or jumpstart you out of the dreaded writer's block. This fun and informative workshop is sure to inspire your members and leave them itching to get home and start writing!
