About this event
Create a full story in an afternoon! This workshop is for every writer, reader, and film-lover who wants to peel back the layers of story to study the bones beneath. We will uncover the motivations of characters and walk the beats of a plot—all within the historic and inspiring Hyde Museum. In this interactive workshop, participants will move and write so wear your walking shoes and bring a portable notebook and pen. You will leave the workshop with a greater understanding of what makes your favorite movies and books so compelling. This workshop is designed for writers of fiction and non-fiction, as well as for readers and film-lovers. You’ll never read a book or watch a movie the same way again.
Emma Kress (she/her) is a young-adult novelist and teacher.

It’s available in paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook. She’s a long-time teacher and was a finalist for NY State Teacher of the Year in 2014. A graduate of Vassar College and Columbia University’s Teachers College, she also earned her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
