An ONLINE Fiction/Memoir/Nonfiction Workshop
ALL LEVELS
Join us in this seminar to discover the time-tested techniques that have captured audiences' hearts since the days of Aristotle and his Poetics. Delve into the secrets of immersive writing and explore the power of 'Pity, Fear, Catharsis' – a profound strategy for novelists and screenwriters committed to creating narratives that never release their grip on the audience. We'll delve into the fundamental elements of storytelling and employ them to craft the foundation of a compelling story.
+ PLEASE NOTE This workshop will occur ONLINE. The week of the workshop, attendees will be emailed the zoom link to enter the class.
Javed Rezayee is an instructor of fiction, memoir, and film at GrubStreet writing center in Boston. He's story producer of several documentary films including "Retrograde" for National Geographic that won three Emmys in 2023. Javed's upcoming memoir is about growing up in Afghanistan where his father was a chef for American diplomats during the Cold War, and barely survived the Soviet invasion.
