More Info - At last, a writing course for vampire writers! One you can sink your fangs into! This level 1 course offers both information on writing fiction, and information on vampires, including historical and mythological information written by Rob Brautigam, noted European vampire expert and publisher of the highly acclaimed and respected journal INTERNATIONAL VAMPIRE. Over the five lessons, you will learn to create a unique nosferatu, determine the vampire appeal to both readers and to other characters, find a plot worthy of your bloodsucker, determine which point of view suits your story, and heighten the archetypal power of your undead. Classes and assignments focus on essential fiction techniques like characterization; plotting; point of view; dialogue; as well as looking at the archetypal energy of the vampire and how to best utilize it to create powerful fiction. Completed assignments will be critiqued in a way that allows you to construct or rework short stories and novels. Click here to View the Course Syllabus
