“Demystify the process of novel building! Building a Better Book is all about asking–and answering–key structural questions at the heart of every well-executed novel. Whether you’re just getting started or deep into revisions, this workshop helps writers deconstruct and better understand their story and its themes. We’ll discuss developing the core concept and casting your characters, and breakdown the story beats of a modern novel in detail.”

Trai Cartwright, MFA, has over 20 years experience as a professional story breaker. While in Los Angeles, Trai was a development executive for HBO, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s online ventures.
