Mastercraft Juggling Wheel for Read to Write Books workshops
Master Craft Juggling Wheel by Christine Walker for Read to Write Books
Christine uses visual approaches across disciplines. For Read to Write Books, a 9-month course that she developed to teach writing craft, she isolated 9 elements of fiction and designed the Master Craft Juggling Wheel to provides a quick reference for writers. A lively exploration of masterful fiction, Read to Write Books illuminates craft through close reading, annotations of novels, visuals, and exercises for becoming more skilled as writers and discerning as readers. The words on the pages of good books are excellent writing teachers—if we know how to learn from them. When we read to gain insight from accomplished authors, we improve technique, gather inspiration for crating good books, and enhance our appreciate of fiction.
