Strange Alchemy: How Place, People, and Conflict Intertwine in Fiction and
Memoir
Good story engages readers because place, people, and conflict are not haphazard. They are aligned to create a certain alchemy. In this class you’ll learn how the three elements of place, people, and conflict must work together to make memoir and fiction writing come alive. Enough dilemma--or too much? Power positions of players working--or not? Does setting lend emotion--or is it flat? 24/7 access to classroom, weekly lessons and exercises, lots of feedback. Find out more >
