ABOUT THE CLASS:

Whether you’ve got a complete manuscript or you’ve just started one, this class will help you write a complete synopsis for your story. I will take you step by step so that by the end of the class you will have written a one-page synopsis, a 4-6 page synopsis, and also a more organic “character” synopsis.

I will give you tips and tricks to ensure you have all the structural and character elements an editor is looking for: Inciting Incident, external goal, internal conflict, romantic conflict, major obstacles, epiphany, climax, and resolution. Never fear synopsis writing again–this class will make you synopsis savvy!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Camy Tang writes romance with a kick of wasabi. Her chick lit Sushi series is out now, and next year she’ll release Deadly Intent with Love Inspired Suspense. Originally from Hawaii, she worked as a biologist for 9 years, but now she is a staff worker for her San Jose church youth group and leads a worship team for Sunday service. She also runs the Story Sensei fiction critique service, which specializes in book doctoring. On her blog, she gives away Christian novels twice a week and ponders frivolous things.

Coming in June – “Is That Hollywood Calling?” with Cindy Carroll

Just because we can write books doesn’t mean we can write screenplays. “Is That Hollywood Calling?” is a quick and direct month long course on the differences between writing books and writing scripts. We will also look at how writing a screenplay can help improve your novel writing.
