FREE ONLINE WORKSHOP: Novel Story Structure & Theme

Join award winning and bestselling authors Cristin Terrill and Beth Revis for an online evening to help your refine your novel! Cristin will start with a hands-on talk about theme that will help guide you as you develop your idea, after which you'll talk your renewed focus and apply it to a breakdown on story structure with Beth. Applying story structure and theme is something that can help you at any stage of your writing, whether you're trying to narrow your main idea into an outline, or you're ready to revise an already complete novel. These are tools Beth and Cristin use themselves on their own published work, and can easily be adapted to different writing styles. 

Cristin Terrill and Beth Revis are the award winning and bestselling authors behind Wordsmith Workshops, a writer's resource and retreat program that's been operating for more than ten years, with multiple alumni who've gone on to make major deals with traditional publishing houses, hit the New York Times bestseller list, and had books optioned for film. Cristin is the author of sci fi and thriller novels for teens, including The Stars Between Us and Here Lies Daniel Tate, and is a certified life coach. Beth is the author of multiple New York Times bestselling novels, including Across the Universe, multiple books in the Star Wars universe, and the co-authored YA historical fantasy Night of the Witch. Wordsmith Workshops is the program they wished they had when they were debuting, offering retreats around the world throughout the year that aid authors at all levels, from those who've never finished a book to those with established careers. They provide workshops, frank and honest advice, coaching, and community.
