Are you using time as a vehicle not only to move characters through scenes, but also to build tension and dynamics in your stories? This class will help you unlock the mystery behind pacing and managing timelines in fiction. Instructions will include a variety of celebrated examples on how to structure, transition or manipulate time.

Although the class will mainly live in the context of fiction such as short stories or novels, techniques discussed here also apply to other prose genres such as memoir or personal essays.
