The Short Story Revision Workshop 4 with Helen Hagemann

The Short Story Revision Workshop 4 with Helen Hagemann @ the Fremantle Arts Centre, Friday, 2nd September, 1pm-3pm.  This workshop will look at writing the short story without a plot. We will read an extract of Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin: a short story that is not plot-driven, yet relies on the reader's ability to take in the narrative constructed in this way.  Writing exercises will help the writer construct a narrative arc;  one that creates meaning, yet also emphasizes and amplifies the story.

Venue: Fremantle Arts Centre, Upstairs Room 3.

Time: 1-3pm. What to bring:  Notepad, pen, laptop or iPad

Cost:  OOTA $20  - NON-OOTA $25 (ask for membership form to save). Please note: No credit card facility and new attendees who arrive without the class fee will be asked to leave. For information on joining OOTA and what we do, please visit our website http://ootawriters.com
