11:15 - 12:15 Morning Program: "Creating the Story Arc" with Jeffrey Voccola
How do we bring our story ideas to life on the page? With so many components at play—plot, character, narrative, active scenes of dialogue—the writer can easily become overwhelmed.But mapping out the story can provide clarity and focus. At this craft talk, we'll discuss finding direction through the narrative arc.

His stories have appeared in The Woven Tale Press, 2 Bridges Review, Fox Chase Review, The Cabinet, Noctua Review, Cottonwood, Beacon Street Review, Folio, and others. His essays have been published in Inside Sources, The Las Vegas Sun, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

1:30 - 3:00 - Afternoon Workshop: "Character and Point of View" with Jeffrey Voccola
We all love a good plot, but ultimately stories are about people. To become fully immersed in a piece of fiction, readers must understand and connect with the characters. Author Jeffrey Voccola discusses character development and using point of view to keep the reader engaged.
