Creating Dramatic Dialogue

Whatever kind of writing you do, chances are it involves people talking. Want a new bag of tricks for putting words in your characters' mouths?

This workshop explores how dialogue differs from real-life conversation, and what it reveals about personality, relationships, place, time, and action. Learn how to let your characters help tell your story.

What Playwrights Know that All Writers Need

Think of every play you've ever seen: You expected something to happen when the curtain went up—and things to keep happening in a way that engaged you until the curtain fell.

Nina Wright is a playwright who made the transition to writing fiction. She shows how playwriting techniques can start your story rolling from the first sentence and keep the audience involved until the final word.

Whose Story Is It?

For a story to work, the right person has to tell it. In other words, the writer needs to choose the best possible point of view.

This workshop helps you figure out who should tell your story and how. Learn to identify the most compelling narrator for your narrative and master different point-of-view techniques.

What Kind of Story Is It?

So you think you know what you want to write before you start to write it. Okay—but you may be cutting your best creative options.

Let Nina Wright show you how to spin ideas and characters in surprising directions for amazing results. Open up your options for the writing ride of your life. And then start that story.

Writing the First Draft Fast

You've got nothing to show an agent or publisher until you've written your novel all the way to the end.

Learn Nina Wright's secrets for getting the first draft done, no matter what. She can help you solve your biggest plotting problems. And she can teach you how to complete any project right on schedule.

How to Woo Your Muse

Fact: You have to court Creativity; she (or he) doesn't show up uninvited. This exciting workshop offers new ways to connect your inner and outer worlds.

Everything you want to write about is already waiting for you; you simply have to find the way there. Come prepared to play on paper. You'll leave with both answers and inspiration. And you'll have fun, too!

Teaching Philosophy

Nina's first love is story-telling... on both the page and the stage. She's passionate about teaching others to find their own voices so that they can tell their stories.

With master's degrees in English literature and applied linguistics, Nina brings both academic knowledge and practical experience to her workshops. She has taught creative writing, speech, drama, English literature, and English as a Second Language to adults and teens.
