Details
Join us for a Writer's Workshop led by Colorado author Thea Weiss! This workshop will be followed by a special author signing and meet-and-greet with Thea to celebrate her novel The Second Chance Cinema.
Here's the topic for the writer's workshop:
The Art of the Banter
There’s something deeply satisfying about a witty, fast-fire exchange in fiction. The rhythm of these moments can build chemistry and familiarity between characters and give us even more of a reason to root for them.
So, what actually makes for lively conversations that pop off the page? We’ll look at a few examples from movies and books. Then, we’ll write a one-page conversation between two provided characters—and use a few helpful tools to sharpen it up in real-time.
Who should take this workshop:
Writers who struggle to make their characters sound natural
Writers who live for the meet cute
Writers who want an easy, no-stakes way to get their pen moving
Writers who love when characters say witty or unexpected things
