Nearly every story is made up of different types of scenes, each one requiring a different skill set from the author to write effectively. Writers of all genres will benefit from this four-part course designed to teach students the unique benefits and requirements for each type of scene. Subjects covered will include setting and character description, dialogue, internal monologue, and action.

This class is held at the Puyallup campus.
