SUMMARY:Paper Cuts & Sleepless Nights: Writing the Literary Page-Turner-Workshop with Adrian Van Young
DESCRIPTION:Do you love to be moved and thrilled at once? Is your childhood library 60% Stephen King and Anne Rice paperbacks? Do you always stan Gone Girl\, no matter what? If the answer to any of these is yes\, then this generative workshop on writing the literary page-turner is most definitely for you. \nThrough a mixture of short writing prompts to generate new material\, craft-oriented discussions of published work\, and seminar-style class discussion\, this workshop will explore unreliable narrators\, setting as character\, information-delivery techniques\, narrative pacing\, and tension & suspense\, to name just a few page-turning essentials. Come for the pulse-pounding\, stay for the pathos–and keep your reader in their seat! \nThis event is free and open to the community. No RSVP necessary. \nAdrian Van Young is the author of five books of fiction–most recently\, Rough Beast\, a heavy metal noir coming in October from Black Lawrence Press. His fiction\, non-fiction & criticism have been published or are forthcoming in Electric Literature’s Recommended Reading\, Conjunctions\, Guernica\, BOMB\, Granta\, McSweeney’s and The New Yorker online\, among others. He teaches part-time in the MFA Program at LSU New Orleans\, is a professional freelance editor\, and currently splits his time between New Orleans and Paris\, where he lives with his family.
