Details
Friday evening
The creation stage: We examine premises and a five-phase plot method. Participants generate one to three possible story ideas.
Saturday morning
The development stage: We focus on writing. Participants choose a main character, a setting, and a problem. Writing sprints intersperse with sharing and trouble-shooting.
Saturday afternoon
The Revision stage: What do you do when your story’s written? When do you check grammar? How do you know if the story’s any good? What do you fix first? Ann LM Kitching presents a step-by-step editing process that participants apply immediately.
Saturday evening
The other elements: artwork, etc.
Sunday morning
We then go through all the steps to publish our anthology of stories on amazon.ca.
