2023 NOVEMBER ONLINE WRITING SHOW | Time as a Story Element

In writing, time can create or postpone urgency, define your setting, and impact your characters’ actions—regardless of genre. Let’s talk flashbacks, time leaps, time-travel, using historical events, and making/breaking the space-time continuum. Our panel will provide guidance on managing chronology, establishing anchoring points, and utilizing time to enhance and propel your narratives.

Speakers:  Denny S. Bryce, Mike Chen, Kosoko Jackson

Moderator:  Karen A. Chase

Date: Tuesday, November 14, 2023

Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern Time

Location: ONLINE, via Zoom

Cost: $12 Members | $17 Non-members
