Through exploring the really cool real notes  and structures that helped authors from JK Rowling, to Faulkner to Sylvia Plath and Jennifer Egan to plan and execute their works, we'll talk about how to “Steal Like An Artist” to build our own really cool plans for our own writing. Participants will work on creating a plan for their own writing, inspired by one of many authors.
