Unlock your creativity and conquer writer’s block in this Zoom workshop on using scriptwriting tricks to take your novel to the next level!

Draw on techniques used in theatre, graphic novels, video games, TV and movies to think cinematically. In this workshop from playwright Hillary DePiano, we’ll focus on visual storytelling, crafting compelling characters and elevating your story into something audiences can cheer for.

Whether you’re stuck in the middle of your first draft or looking for a way to give your latest revision an extra buff, re-imagining your novel as a script can give you that fresh perspective you need to reignite your passion for your story, untangle narrative issues and propel your book from boring to blockbuster.
