Pacing is the speed and rhythm of a story. In this class, author and editor Valerie Valdes will break down how pacing works at every level of a story, from big-picture structure to individual scenes and emotional beats. You'll look at ways to vary tempo and intensity, while moving beyond rigid percentages and strict beats to focus on the natural cadence of a story. Whether you outline extensively or write more intuitively, this class will help you understand pacing as a flexible, powerful tool you can adapt to your own process.
Class will take place on September 26, 2026 from 4:00-5:30 PM EST and will be recorded.
