Do you feel something is lacking in it, but you’re not sure what? It helps to get “fresh eyes” on your manuscript and to discuss what works, what doesn’t, and maybe even get new ideas for it. At our Saturday afternoon manuscript workshop, you can get that kind of input and help. Students are asked to submit up to 15 pages of a fiction or nonfiction manuscript – short story, novel or memoir excerpt, for example. If it’s time for you to take that next step with your work, this workshop is for you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; color: rgb(0, 27, 244); ">LIMIT: 10 students.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(115, 25, 124); font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT, times, serif; font-size: 19px; ">SCOTT LAX TEACHING SCHEDULE FOR <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 21px; "><a href="http://the-lit.org/">THE LIT: CLEVELAND'S LITERARY CENTER</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(115, 25, 124); font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT, times, serif; font-size: 19px; ">THE ART OF STORY: FICTION & NONFICTION at THE LIT</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; color: rgb(115, 25, 124); ">DATES: Tuesdays, May 4-25; June 1, 8, 2010. 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; color: rgb(115, 25, 124); ">LOCATION: Gypsy Bean in Historic Gordon Square, 6425 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; color: rgb(115, 25, 124); ">COST: $185 for Members of The Lit; $225 for Nonmembers (10% discount for former Chagrin Valley Writers' Workshop students)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; color: rgb(115, 25, 124); ">WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Using Scott Lax’s FTS Writing Method, students are encouraged and coached to Find their story; to Translate the story into written words; and finally to Shape their story into a potentially publishable work of nonfiction or fiction. An important aspect is that Scott helps students think like writers. Over the course of the workshop, Scott will cover dialogue, plot, creating believable characters, setting, narrative flow, self-editing and the various aspects of writing that are common to both effective fiction and literary nonfiction.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21pt; "><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; color: rgb(115, 25, 124); ">LIMIT: 10 students (Hurry!
