This session examines the dynamics of writing, the way some moments have tremendous weight and volume, and others are so tiny and quiet that they slide right past, barely noticed.
Goldie will explore stories as if they are a piece of music that we are all learning to play with the assistance of a good conductor. How can we learn to use masterful dynamic phrasing in our own work? This craft talk will demystify some of these skills of make them accessible to all of us.
GOLDIE GOLDBLOOM is a writer, teacher and editor, author of four internationally award-winning books of fiction, most recently On Division (winner of the Prix des Libraires in France), and many articles, short stories and essays that have appeared around the world. For more than fifteen years, she was on the faculty at Northwestern University and/or the University of Chicago. She currently runs a developmental editing service for best-selling authors, celebrities and talented writers from all walks of life. She is the mother of eight children and an LGBTQ activist.
In person and remote.
