#40 WORKSHOP IV, Sunday, 1:45-2:45 PM Location: McAfee Fieldhouse Game Room (Top Floor) Instructor: Dan Kline, Consultant/Nick Harrison, Harvest House Publishing
What Makes Fiction Go from Good to Great? Have you ever gotten your novel manuscript back with the old “doesn’t fit our needs” rejection and wonder, “What did I do wrong?” Well…it might be a too-predictable plot, too-monotonous dialogue, or maybe too many too-similar characters—or any combination of factors that make many could-be-great stories just “mediocre-good.” This might be your problem, but how will you know unless you come to the workshop? 1. Market considerations, both pro and con.
2. How to develop “real” dialogue.
3. How to create unique and memorable characters.
4. How to perfect an intriguing plot.
5. Q&A, discussion—time permitting.
