Writer Wednesdays at SHAMc
Every Wednesday between  10:00 a.m. to noon, local author Laura Kepner will help writers develop their fiction and creative non-fiction skills in a fun, encouraging environment. Writers of every experience level are welcome to participate, from beginner to pro, whether writing a novel, a memoir, compelling articles, or short stories.
Week one of each month will focus on character formation, from their birth in your imagination to their conflicts and how those shape personality and growth, essential to the development of plot. For example, one week the class may discuss dialogue while another week participants will learn about a character’s backstory and how to incorporate it into a story.   
Week two of each month will center on plot. Every page turning story must contain a plot. The plot begins on page one and continues until the final word in your story or novel. What is plot? It’s the problem or situation that your character/s must overcome through roadblocks and challenges to climax and resolution. It must be resolved in some way by the end. Each month, the class will look at different methods for building plot, including the Hero’s Journey, formula writing, and more.
Week three of each month will be about setting. In building a world for your characters, whether it be in the middle of suburbia or in a completely new dimension, you will need to convey what it looks like, how it smells, the language and culture of this habitat, enough so it becomes a memorable place in readers’ minds.
Week four of each month will be all about tense, voice, point of view, sentence structure, and more. Learning early on how to draw upon your “writers’ toolbox” well, will save time later.  

Individual classes pay as you go-$40
January Tickets available 
​4 pac of classes for January $120.00

Laura Kepner is the author of Images of America, Safety Harbor; the children’s picture book When Lourdes Was Big;  co-author of A Brief History of Safety Harbor, Florida, and she was the editor-in-chief for Odet, a 4-volume literary journal. Laura is a contributing writer for the Arts Coast Journal and Destination Tampa Bay magazine. She loves teaching and hopes to meet you and your characters soon!
