A story isn’t just a collection of words strung together.  It has a structure, starting with the overarching plot and filtering down to the scenes, the paragraphs, the sentences, and the individual word choices.   The first and the last of these get a lot of attention, but we’re going to look at the often-neglected middle ground:  the style and structure of your sentences and paragraphs.  How you construct and arrange these can have a big impact on how your story feels to the reader, just as much as the plot and the vocabulary choices do.

Moderator: Lynn Spitz and Hugh Sullivan
Location: Barnes & Noble, Pittsford
Meeting Time: June 4, 2019 from 6:45-8:45 p.m.
