Learn writing techniques, hone your craft, and get words on the page for your work-in-progress by joining this lively discussion group focusing on a writing craft book. Classes include discussion of book content, prompts for implementing the book’s techniques, and peer sharing/feedback. Participants will need to buy a copy of their book. This session’s book is: The Emotional Craft of Fiction: How to Write the Story Beneath the Surface by Donald Maass.

This class is suitable for writers of all levels. Marcia Thornton Jones is the author/co-author of more than 138 traditionally published books for kids including the best-selling series, The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids.
