5-time martial-arts black-belt, army veteran, and award-winning author Bowen Gillings breaks down writing the successful fight scene. Looking at a fight through elements of character, setting, plot, voice, intent, and tone, Bowen uses examples from current popular novels and draws on his experience to show what makes a fight punch off the page and fit perfectly within the scope of your story. We’ll cover fisticuffs to falchions, katanas to kickboxing, and slaps to sucker punches. Plus, you’ll get a chance to hit some stuff yourself! Be it a detective thriller or an epic fantasy, if you’re going to write a fight the fight must fit. After this course, fit it will.
Requires projector, screen, Mac dongle, and roughly 15’x15′ of free space for demonstration and interaction.
