Story Clinic

Pre-requisite: Storytelling 1, Storytelling 101 or Story Structure at Writing Pad. Draft of 600-800 word or 5 minute performed story.

You’ve got the beginnings of a sexy Moth tale, a moving personal essay or a short tale about yourself but you want to transform your diamond-in-the-rough into a literary gem. Stories are about more than “what happens.” Practice storytelling techniques to add color, detail, texture, and emotion to your stories. Turn an old story into something fresh and unique, or discover a new story in this specialty workshop.

In this one-day online storytelling clinic, you’ll get your story up on its feet using character, emotion, description, pacing and scenes to take your work to the next level. You’ll get feedback from storytelling master and Moth Host Corey Rosen on how to expand and revise your story so it captivates your audience. By the end of the class, you’ll have unstuck your tale or essay and be well on the way to a literary masterpiece that can withstand the scrutiny of the most discerning critics.
