Our June Meeting: Suspense Writer's Guide to Structure


Please join us on Saturday, June 22th from 11:00 to 1:00 at the Hilton Head Branch of the Beaufort County Library for our June meeting, The Suspense Writer's Guide to Structure.

This is a workshop specifically geared for writers of crime fiction using screenwriter Dan Harmon's Circle method. Based on Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, this method isn't linear, but is instead cyclical, and unites plot and character in an easy-to-use framework that is useful not only for planning, but for checking the structural integrity of a finished work. It's also an excellent framework for laying clues and red herrings.

Non-members are welcome (and encouraged!); writers of any type of fiction (not just mysteries) will find this information helpful.

Hope to see you there!
