Plot Your Novel with the Three-Act Structure
Wednesday, January 17th through February 21st
**Zoom meetings Tuesdays from 7-8:30pm ET, beginning January 17th
Location: Online through Writers.com
​
Plotting a novel can be a daunting task, one that leaves our hands sweaty and makes us reconsider why we chose to write one in the first place. By studying the classic three-act structure and its use throughout storytelling forms, we can make that task a little lighter and find new ways to bring our stories to life.
​
In this class, we will explore the acts of the three-act structure in detail. Each week we will cover an act from the three-act structure in-depth, providing the opportunity to learn about and discuss the structure one act at a time. In between classes, you will apply the lesson to your own story and build your outline in stages. You will also learn about how the main points of the three-act structure are connected and intertwined with your protagonist’s character or emotional arc and how to up the stakes at each stage of the plot arc.
​
Open to fiction writers at any stage in the drafting process.
