SUMMARY:Ottawa Romance Writers Workshop with Jaye Wells
DESCRIPTION:Promises & Payoffs in Fiction with Jaye Wells \n$5 for Ottawa Romance Writers (ORW) members; $15 for nonmembers \nGood stories don’t happen by accident. To master the art of delivering satisfying tales\, writers must learn how to effectively make story promises from Page One as well as how to deliver satisfying payoffs by The End. This class will explore the types of promises you must make from the first line of your story\, demonstrate a variety of tools you can use to make those promises\, and offer strategies to avoid cheating your readers out of satisfying payoffs. \nJaye Wells is the author of more than a dozen novels. In addition to writing\, Jaye is also a sought-after speaker and teacher on the topics of writing craft and the writing life. She is a lecturer for the Seton Hill MFA in Writing Popular Fiction program. She has also served as faculty for the Paradise Lost writing retreat\, taught writing at sea for Cruising Writers\, ran the writers’ workshop for FenCon\, and has mentored several writers through Horror Writers Association’s mentorship program. She also offers writing workshops and seminars through Wells Writing Workshop.
