Show or Tell? How to Make a Scene – Winter 2023

This cross-genre class will address the importance of crafting narrative through scenes. Through in-class writing exercises and discussion of the work of established writers, we will explore the thorniest of writers’ quandaries: When (and how much) do I show, and when (and how much) do I tell?

Sarah Combs is the author of the YA novels Breakfast Served Anytime and The Light Fantastic, both published by Candlewick Press. 

This class is suitable for all levels.
