LIFE STORY MASTER CLASS WITH LAURA DAVIS

Memoir: How to Create Unforgettably Vivid Moments Your Readers Will Never Forget

6-HOUR MASTER CLASS | ONLINE | $175 USD | 1 SPOT LEFT
OCT 30, 10:00 AM–1:00 PM & 3:00–6:00PM CDT

What makes scenes compelling are emotionally resonant moments that irresistibly pull readers into the world you create. In this experiential two-part intensive, you’ll learn to identify the pivotal moments that form your story’s backbone, front-load sensory detail so your writing is unforgettable, and why you should “slow down where it hurts.” You will come away with a powerful first draft of a crucial scene, a list of scenes to develop, and the skills to write those scenes with powerful immediacy.
LAURA DAVIS is the author of seven non-fiction books, including a brand new memoir, The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story. Her groundbreaking books have sold more than two million copies around the world. Laura teaches weekly writing workshops online and leads transformative writing retreats in northern California, Bali, Vietnam, Greece, Spain, Tuscany, Peru, and other international locations.
