Voice, pressure, and revision as engines of fiction.

The Heart of Fiction is a Morgan-led craft offering for writers who want to understand what gives a piece life, how a voice carries pressure, and how revision can protect what is working while changing what is not.

Core Questions

  • What gives a piece its pressure?
  • How does voice carry knowledge, desire, withholding, humor, grief, or urgency?
  • What does revision actually revise: plot, point of view, rhythm, structure, relation, theme, or attention?
  • How does a writer protect what is alive while changing what is not yet working?

Available Formats

  • One-session craft lecture.
  • Small-group generative workshop.
  • Two-part lecture and revision lab.
  • Custom session for a school, library, MFA program, or literary organization.

Public dates, capacity, price, and any submission requirements will be stated before registration. Organizations and writing groups may inquire about a custom session now.
