Online Class
Lost & Found:
A New Way of Looking at Plot
June 4th - 8th
Price: $75
Members and previous Lost & Found students*: $60
During this five-day class, Ann Napolitano, a novelist, writing teacher, and associate editor at One Story, will guide you through a four-step formula for plotting a story. Each day will contain a lesson followed by a writing exercise designed to help you feel more comfortable developing plot in your own work.
You’ll leave this class with the plot for a new story, or with the tools to sharpen the plot in an existing piece of work. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to forge relationships with like-minded writers around the country (maybe even the world) and the option to trade work with other students.
As Kurt Vonnegut says, “I guarantee you that no modern story scheme, even plotlessness, will give a reader genuine satisfaction, unless one of those old fashioned plots is smuggled in somewhere.”
Join us to get your plot in order.
