Here are some things I'm doing or offering. UPCOMING WORKSHOP “Generating Fiction (Developing Characters & Plot),” Eight Mondays 6:45-8:45 p.m., beginning April 28. Writer’s Voice of the West Side YMCA, 5 West 63rd Street, Manhattan. Fiction workshop, though memoir can be presented as well. Contact: Lily Motta, 212 875-4124. What is the story you need to tell? How do you choose characters, decide on a point of view? How do you structure your tale to make it more compelling? In this class, we will answer these questions by exploring sources of inspiration and shaping raw material into more coherent stories or chapters. Writers new to the form or honing their work will find a supportive environment here. NEW PUBLICATIONS, ETC.
