Do you feel something is lacking in it, but you’re not sure what? Or maybe you just want to hear what others have to say about your work, while at the same time learning about the art of critiquing others’ work, which helps you understand your own.<br><br>It helps to get “fresh eyes” on your manuscript and to discuss what works for your colleagues, what doesn’t, and maybe even get new ideas for your story. At our Tuesday evening manuscript workshops, you can get that kind of input, help and support. Students are asked to submit up to 15 pages of a fiction or nonfiction manuscript – a short story, novel or memoir excerpt, screenplay or stage play. If it’s time for you to take that next step with your work, this workshop is for you.<br><br>During the course of the Workshop, we will also talk about the art and craft of writing: character development, plot, setting, dialogue and “thinking like a writer.”<br><br>And we're offering something new that’s unique to our Workshop: some students only have an idea for a story, but not much down on paper yet. Students, including 2-person writing teams at the Chagrin Valley Writers’ Workshop, have successfully worked out their stories through discussion, outlines and brainstorming sessions, and gone on to write screenplays and books.<br><br>Whether you have a finished manuscript, a story-in-progress, or simply an idea for it, our Workshop could be what you need to jump-start your writing.</span><blockquote type="cite" style="font-size: medium;
