On Saturday, November 12, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Roeliff Jansen Community Library will host “The ABCs of Writing Page-Turning Fiction.” The writers’ workshop will be taught by author, teacher and scholar Joanne Dobson.
This workshop is designed for writers of all levels — from more experienced writers who wish to refresh and deepen their skills, to new writers who want to learn the basics. Brief lectures will cover fundamentals of creating compelling fiction: character, plot, voice, setting, narrative momentum and point of view. Lectures will be interspersed with short, intensive writing exercises permitting participants to explore the topic being addressed.
The fee is $25 and can be waived upon request. To register or to request fee waiver contact Bobbie Slonevsky at bslonevsky@slonevskygroup.com. Snow date for the workshop is November 19. For more information, contact Regina Colangelo (914) 954-3494.
