ONLINE CLASSES with Jordan E. Rosenfeld
Learn Fiction’s “Magic” Ingredient.
The muse doesn’t go on vacation, so why should you? Stimulate your writing with a fun, self-paced online class that will revolutionize your writing with Jordan Rosenfeld, author of the writing guides Make a Scene and Write Free: Attracting the Creative Life (with Rebecca Lawton).
In this class you’ll learn the “magic” ingredient to create powerful, page-turning fiction and instantly take your writing to a whole new level.
- Activate and enliven your writing
- Create a stylized, “sexy” experience of “real time”
- Build a powerful, layered “tapestry” on every page
- Design an easy to follow “map” for your plot
- Demonstrate unforgettable characters. And more!
Each week you’ll receive three assignments that can be applied to a work-in-progress or as stand alone exercises. You’ll receive weekly feedback from Jordan and have the opportunity to interact with classmates.
Next Session: November 2 through 27, 2009. This class continues to be popular, so I’m adding a new session for 2009, with more in 2010! In light of the Thanksgiving holiday, the final week will be lighter on assignments.
Price: $149 regular. $129 to NAMW members after October 15. . REGISTER HERE.

Learn to Layer Scene Types. 1 week.
October 26 through 30. $49.
You might be a master of the scene, but now learn to layer them for powerful effect. Avoid “monochromatic” fiction that lacks variety and texture. In this intensive you’ll learn about the ingredients of, and how to wield, different scene types, from slow, contemplative scenes, to heavy-hitting dramatic scenes and dozens of others in between.

Image Building
Nov 30-December 6, 2009. $49. $129 for all three.
The visual world of your novel or story is a powerful way to evoke mood and feeling. There may be nothing more effective than using “images”—stylized, poetic visuals that specifically conjure a feeling, a mood, or a theme. Images are different than mere descriptions in that they speak to the reader on the unconscious and emotional level. They bypass the logical mind and resonate in your reader’s mind and heart long after the page is turned.
Learn to create and use images in your fiction.

Famous Firsts: Perfect your manuscript’s first impression
December 7-14, 2009. $49. $129 for all three.
You’ve heard the saying: “You only have one chance to make a first impression.” This class will help you hone your most important “firsts” to grip readers, draw them in, and keep them going. This class is especially important for people ready to submit their manuscript to agents, conferences, or publishers.
In this 1 week intensive you’ll hone and perfect your:
- First Line
- First Scene
- First Chapter

Method Writing. 1 week.
December 14-21. $49. $129 for all three.
Some of the most widely acclaimed actors use an acting strategy that is said to have “revolutionized” modern cinema: “method acting.” In the form, rather than attempting to simulate emotional experiences in scenes, actors draw from their own emotional stores, channeling real feelings of their own to create characters so vibrant and alive that the line between actor and character vanishes.
In fiction, writers can use this same concept to create compelling scenes and characters. I call it “method writing.”
In this intensive 1-week course you’ll learn to draw from several rich personal fonts for the energy and emotion needed to make scenes feel authentic.
