Join us this winter for our 7th annual Pencil to Paper Writing Series.
“Pencil to Paper: Structure & Point of View” runs six Thursdays, 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. CST, from January 8 through February 12, 2027, held live over Zoom.
This series works for writers at any stage of a manuscript. Beginning a new project, finishing one up, or stuck somewhere in the middle, this class gives you tools to tighten your prose and sharpen your storytelling.
This on-line craft workshop series is geared toward the writer just beginning a work, just finishing, or somewhere in the middle. Together we’ll find ways to tighten your prose, sharpen your story-telling skills, and getting that manuscript to the finish line. Have you ever wondered why your story sags in the middle, takes a while to start, or misses a satisfying ending? This year’s Pencil to Paper will deal with STRUCTURE AND POINT OF VIEW, two reasons that weaken your manuscript unless executed with precision. Learn how to choose the best character to tell your story, how to manage multiple points of view, and how to know when it’s not a good idea.
Thursdays, 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. CST, January 8 to February 12, 2027, via ZOOM (Classes are recorded if unable to attend live)
Cost: $240. Class Size is limited. Please register by filling out this form. Invoices will be sent January 5, 2026.
