The Structure of a Story

Getting started on writing a story can be tough. This class lays the foundation you need to write a complete and engaging tale. Walk through the introduction, the inciting incident, rising action, up to the climax, down the falling action, and into the resolution.

This class is taught by a graduate student in the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s MFA Program in Creative Writing.
