✍🏼 WORKSHOP: Building Better Scenes: A StoryGrid Workshop with Tim Grahl
** This is a LIVE workshop. Attendees will be sent a video recording after the workshop. **
Why do some scenes pull readers in while others fall flat? How can you analyze and refine your scenes to create a seamless, compelling story?
Every great novel is built scene by scene—but crafting powerful, dynamic scenes isn’t just about writing what happens. It’s about movement, momentum, and meaning.
Join StoryGrid CEO and author Tim Grahl for a workshop where you’ll learn how to analyze, refine, and elevate your scenes for maximum impact.
Using StoryGrid’s methodology, we'll exlpore:
The essential elements of a scene—turning points, value shifts, and more
How to diagnose weak or repetitive scenes (and fix them!)
Using the StoryGrid Spreadsheet to gain clarity on your novel’s structure
How deliberate scene-building can strengthen your entire story
