Planning and executing a well-crafted character arc doesn’t have to be a struggle. In fact, it can even be fun and—dare I say—straight forward. The secret lies in revelations—impactful “ah-ha” moments that your hero experiences throughout the plot that challenges them to grow and change.
This workshop combines my own personal approach to writing character arcs with tried-and-true methods of industry experts. Using essay lessons and examples from modern fiction, I’ll show you how to use revelations to reverse-engineer your hero’s arc, creating a roadmap for their emotional journey. By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand your hero more deeply and have their arc clearly plotted.
Enrollment closes November 16th, 2020.

More specifically, if you are in the early stages of planning a new project, “Plotting with Revelations” will help you map out your hero’s arc for the first time. If you have a finished draft on hand, the workshop will help you zero in on ways to improve and strengthen your hero’s arc during revision.

“Plotting with Revelations” is a self-guided, three-unit workshop that can be completed at your own pace. Lessons in each unit consist of essays, exercises, and worksheets that will help you locate your novel’s major revelations and plot your hero’s character arc with ease. A live Q&A will wrap up the workshop. Playback will be available for those who want to work through the material at their own convenience. Access to the materials does NOT expire.
