Speaker: Allison Gorner

As an author, you want your readers to be so engrossed they can’t put your book down – to binge-read your story. Designing a short story in 5 acts, like a television show, engages and captivates your readers. In this workshop we will explore the 5 act structure and how to design and lay out the blueprint of a compelling, binge-worthy read.

Before becoming a short story author and screenwriter, Allison has been a librarian, production assistant, art director, and coalminer. She has diplomas in Cinema, Television, Stage & Radio, and Writing For Children, and is a member of Alberta Romance Writers’ Association (ARWA) and Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers (CSIF). She finds time to write when she can extricate herself from her four kids and their pounding on the bathroom door.
