Sunday, March 14th 1-Day Plot Intensive Workshop

presented by Writers Store

The Plot Whisperer brings her expertise to Southern California! Martha Alderson has been diving into the murky depths of plot since childhood. Now she has streamlined everything you need to know in one plot-o-rific weekend.

This plot workshop will benefit writers of all kinds: Screenwriters, Novelists, and Memoirists.

Learn how to:

  • Develop a multi-layered plot for the overall story level
  • Deepen character development and dramatic action at the scene level
  • Plot springs from character in conflict. Develop an action, character, and thematic plot, and apply the universal structure of story for your own individual story. No project started? You'll be given everything you need.
  • Fully integrate all aspects of plot to create unity in your project. Writers are invited to bring their scenes to be used as example.

10AM to 5PM Sunday

Sign up now for this two-day plot intensive in Los Angeles.
