ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Often when we get stuck on a narrative or dramatic project, there is an underlying issue with its structure that is stopping the plot from propelling.

In this 90-minute session, we will discuss the structural options at our disposal to understand how the genre or the style of the work informs rules to be followed or broken.

The session will end with an exercise on how to use a tool to plot and outline your project.
