About this Event

This handbook demystifies the craft of writing. In a succinct 60 pages, Jennifer Gessner offers clear, practical strategies that will help aspiring and seasoned writers to unlock their creative potential, turning imaginings into masterpieces.

Gessner's vast experience as both a college writing teacher and a top editor at a major publisher qualifies her to help translate an author's vision into a finished, audience-worthy product.

The Elements of Short Fiction really works! Don't let its compact size and no-nonsense approach deceive you - every page is packed with ideas and exercises guaranteed to get you writing!

Gessner, Jennifer: - "I believe everyone has a story (or many) to tell and I specialize in helping people learn to write their stories and shape them into their own masterpieces. I take a practical approach based on my firm conviction that writing is a skill that can be learned through practice - just like playing an instrument or a sport. And while some of us are natural musicians, others are natural athletes, and some are natural storytellers, each of us can learn the steps of any skill and practice them to achieve personal greatness."
