After online registration is full, any additional seats will be reserved for walk-up attendees. There will be no waiting list.  
The success of any work of fiction or narrative nonfiction depends almost entirely on its narrative strategy. Not only which character(s) tell(s) the story, from what vantage point, in the past or present, but why those choices are optimal and how they contribute to the overall effect the author is aiming for. In this session, we will begin by defining narrative strategy, then discuss its relationship to an author's choice of perspective and his/her manipulation of narrative distance. Presented by Christopher Castellani, artistic director of GrubStreet and author of The Art of Perspective.

Guarantee your spot at this workshop with free online preregistration. After online registration is full, any additional seats will be reserved for walk-up attendees. There will be no waiting list.
