Outline & Synopsis
Outlines can seem frightening. I believe it is the size of the outline that terrorizes many writers. Consider me your guide through the horror. I was against outlines for a long time because I thought it would stifle my creativity. I was wrong! An outline frees me to imagine more deeply. Remember: outlines are guides, they are not rules. Like a map – you can follow it to the letter or veer off to explore new paths.
A synopsis is a brief (500 – 800 words) summary of your story. It needs to be interesting because it must grab an agent’s attention. It’s a first impression. And if it’s weak, it will be the last impression your work makes.
This class will teach you how to craft an outline and write a strong synopsis.

Horror Writing I
Do you love a good scary story? Me too! It won’t surprise you that the horror genre is increasing in popularity. What is it about horror that fascinates audiences? I won’t keep you in suspense: It’s the feelings it provokes. Without emotion the monsters couldn’t frighten us for long. And that’s what the reader wants – they want the horror of the story to linger. They want to think about it long after they’re done reading. This class will delve into what makes horror resonate with readers. It will talk about fears, feelings, nightmares, monsters, and terror. And then, it will show you how to craft those elements into a story.
Seats are limited.
