The other day, BIAY/ BWW stalwart and published author Christine O’Brien, brought up Angie’s Story Development Class. Angie offered it a few years back and apparently, it was memorable. A vitamin shot of the opening sequence of Book in a Year, Story Development deep-dives into your book’s best structure, with feedback from Angie on every step of the way. It’s a process I use with every iteration of my books, each draft. As published author Mary Volmer put it:
“Before I took Angie’s story development class, I more-or-less relied on intuition to suss out the structure of a story as I went along. It was a messy, disconcerting and ungrounded process that involved a great deal of wasted effort. Angie’s class gave me a method of recognizing the structure of my story early, and using that structure to tell my story to greater effect. I wish I’d taken the class ten years ago. I recommend the class to writers at any stage of their careers.” — Mary Volmer, author of Reliance, Ohio and Crown of Dust.
