FOCUS ON… Action A great action scene excites and enthrals the reader, moves the story along and develops the characters. The reader won’t be able to put the book down. But you need to make sure it’s believable and written at just the right pace for your story. This Focus On seminar will clue you in on the techniques great action writers use to make their scenes zing with excitement! For more information on this seminar you can go to the course page HERE.

“This seminar exceeded my expectations. Pamela Freeman knows her stuff. She is always entertaining and opens up a much deeper perspective to the course content. I will now go back through my work and look for action scenes that need more work.”

Karen Payne

FOCUS ON… Chapters The end of a chapter is the point most readers choose to end their reading for the day or night—to put that book down. How a chapter is structured and how it starts and ends is the key to a story being unputdownable! This online seminar is perfect for those who are writing (or thinking about writing) a novel and are unsure of how to structure their chapters—or for those who are editing a draft and trying to make each chapter sing! For more information on this seminar you can go to the course page HERE.

“I’m hungry to learn everything I can about writing my book, but I lack time. This style of course delivery is great! I get so much out of it. Pamela’s concise, informative presentation and notes … I come away with some new material to digest and plenty of support in grasping it. Perfect combination.”

FOCUS ON… Flashbacks and Memories Writing flashbacks and memories into your story can add another dimension to your characters and your plot. It’s a great technique that can bring your story to life – if it’s not done well, it can be very jarring to your reader. This seminar will teach you what you need to know to make flashbacks and memories flow seamlessly in your story. For more information on this seminar you can go to the course page HERE.

“I appreciated that Pamela focused first on why and when to use memories and flashbacks, and then the technical insights about tense and starting and stopping them (i.e. flagging the move to a different time and then the returning to the present). It is very helpful to be given criteria for making choices about using these devices. This is of huge practical assistance as a learner writer.”
