Stories at the Museum

Developmental editing is critical for polishing a work. Whether you’re writing a novel, memoir, non-fiction, short story, or flash, your story needs to make readers desperate to reach the last page.  This presentation analyzes how The Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum builds compelling stories, and lets you practice key story points to create or edit your own work.
