WRITE
WITH PAGE TURNING TENSION
Tension in novels, stories, and even memoirs, is like the connective tissue that allows muscles to attach to bones, and thus flex their might. It’s the heart of conflict, the backbone of uncertainty, the hallmark of danger. It keeps readers guessing, and characters on their toes. This class will help writers master the art of tension on every page and within every element of the story to crafting a story your readers can't put down!

SCENE
STEALER
Scenes are the building blocks of great fiction and memoir. Scenes bring flat narrative into full color action, demonstrate compelling characters and add up to create powerful plots. When you feel connected to the characters and in the midst of action, you're in scenes. In this class, writers will learn scene essentials and ingredients, how to design them, how to demonstrate characters in scene, how to evoke setting, the senses and use images, and how to make every scene count toward the plot. Check out my collaboration with Writing Mastery Academy (https://www.writingmastery.com/scene-crafting-masterclass): The Scene Writing MasterClass.

POWERFUL
PLOTTING
Just starting a story or revising one? Do you struggle to finish your story or get stuck in the middle? Grappling with the architecture of plot is one of the most important parts of writing a compelling story. Whether you consider yourself a “pantser” or a “plotter” this class will demystify and go deeper into plot structure, help you identify the key markers and turning points of character transformation as it relates to story design, break down plot demands at the scene level and discuss important ideas like escalation and stakes and more.

Writing the
Intimate Character
What makes those books you can’t put down until your eyelids are sandy and your brain is buzzing, compelling? Unforgettable, unique characters who are real, flawed, complex and human. In this class writers will learn what it takes to build complex characters, unlock the essentials of point of view (POV), learn about key “character cues” crucial to demonstrating character, and much more.

REVISE &
POLISH
The relief of a first draft often gives way to the panic of how to polish and revise. In this workshop we’ll learn strategies for revising in waves, from the sentence level to the architecture of plot, shoring up scenes and deepening characters.

EMOTION &
IMAGERY
Start spicing up dull, lagging scenes in your novel with memorable, metaphorical imagery. In this workshop you'll learn the power of images to transform serviceable sentences with sensory images that convey emotion and theme with subtlety. You’ll also learn key strategies to demonstrate and reveal character emotion. Writers will come away from this workshop with a visceral, clear understanding of “show, don’t tell.”

WRITE KILLER
SENTENCES
Writers get so busy nailing down characters and plot that we often forget about the humble sentence. Your story may be great, but do your sentences sing? In this workshop you'll learn to transform serviceable sentences with arresting prose and sensory images that convey emotion and theme with subtlety. We'll explore a variety of writing styles, assess and shape your writing voice, and pin down what it means to have a writing style. You’ll tease apart metaphor and simile and play with the sound of words and useful literary devices for prose that wows instead of whimpers.

CLASS REVIEWS
Sarah H.
"I took Jordan’s class TWICE, because it was that good. I must have hit the lottery with both classes because there were literary professionals taking it too. Not only did I get clear useful instruction from Jordan, when it came time for group critique, I had my pieces read by authors, editors, and screen writers. Is it worth your time? If you want to get published it is. Is it worth the money? Are you kidding me. Do it, sign up."

"Fiction Frenzy remains the perfect machinery by which to crank up the writing-glow. Jordan is a wise and gentle co-pilot, helping writers soar. As a creative writer, Fiction Frenzy is the writing class of my dreams."

“I’ve taken a number of these writing classes from Jordan Rosenfeld and found each one to be extremely valuable. Jordan has a way of creating a low-key environment that has allowed me, a developing writer, to learn a lot about writing technique as well as how to receive and accept constructive feedback in order to continually grow and improve. I highly recommend Jordan as a teacher, coach, mentor, and/or editor.”
