Chpt Mtg - Narrators: Who Tells the Story & Why is It Important w/ P. Diederich

Virtual Meeting. RSVP to receive link.

WRITE-CRAFT PRESENTATION
Whether a traditional ‘whodunit,’ a ‘what if,’ horror story, or a character driven literary novel, Diederich approaches his stories as mysteries so the reader will want to turn the page to find out what happens next. But regardless of genre, who narrates the story is as important as the plot. In this discussion, Diederich will focus on how to choose the right narrator and point of view for a story.
