Sophfronia Scott is the author of the best-selling novel Unforgivable Love, a scintillating re-telling of Dangerous Liaisons, set during the Harlem Renaissance.

 

She is the author of This Child of Faith, written with her thirteen-year-old son, Tain, a tender and provocative non-fiction book and she has also written, Love's Long Line, a provocative and thoughtful rumination on motherhood, race, and contemporary culture.

 

Sophfronia is the author of All I Need to Get By, a novel and author of the much-heralded work of nonfiction Doing Business by the Book: How to Craft a Crowd-Pleasing Book and Attract More Clients and Speaking Engagements Than You Ever Thought Possible. She has contributed to three Chicken Soup for the Soul books and the book Forty Things to Do When You Turn Forty. As well, she edited How the Fierce Handle Fear—Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times. Sophfronia began her career as a journalist at Time and People Magazine.

Scott Workshop

Workshop for :

Sophfronia Scott

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? Navigating Your Novel or Memoir Through The Sea of Time.

According to author Joan Silber, "The end point of a story determines its meaning, and one of the main tasks a writer faces is to define the duration of a plot."

 

That task, whether you're writing the story of an hour or the epic of a generation, can determine whether your narrative sails to the shore or sinks under the weight of confusion.

 

In this talk we'll look at how time supports the telling of your story and experiment with outlines and note-taking to examine the various ways to develop the motion of time in your fiction and nonfiction.
