Kim Sabin on balancing the elements of your story
In fiction writing, scenes allow readers to experience important moments along with our story's characters in real-time. Effective scene placement controls our story's overall pacing, tone, and emotional impact. This workshop will teach fiction writers when and where to unpack their story's most important moments, while mindfully striking the perfect balance between dialogue, action, and inner-thought/narration.
Part of Scottsdale's 2023 National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) series.
Space is limited. Tickets for the workshop will be available at the main information desk 30 minutes before the workshop begins on a first come, first served basis.
Kim Sabin writes things, and rewrites things, and teaches people how to put words together at Scottsdale Community College where she serves as English and Creative Writing Faculty. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University Los Angeles. Her work has appeared in Lunch Ticket and Hags on Fire and she is currently revising her first YA manuscript. When she isn't grading papers or having conversations with fictional characters, Kim enjoys reading, practicing yoga, and hanging out with her husband and their lovely YA daughter.
