Course Description

Join best selling, award winning, multi-published author Leanna Rene Hieber
as she teaches her unique hybrid approach in writing novels. With her
background in theatrical constructs, Leanna uses this remarkable theatrical
approach to crack open a whole new way to think about your fiction. She
utilizes techniques inherent to actors, directors and other theatre
professionals in the creation and telling of stories and teaches you to use
these techniques to bolster story structure and characterization. As an
author, think about what it takes to step into the role of actor, director,
cinematographer, etc. and feel the lightbulbs go off as you troubleshoot
your way towards an engaging, character-rich, one-of-a-kind hit novel.

Leanna Renee Hieber graduated with a BFA in Theatre from Miami University,
with a focus in the Victorian Era. A scholarship to study in London helped
set the course for her Strangely Beautiful series. The dramatic, historic,
spiritual and paranormal are the primary forces in her lyrical, eerie,
atmospheric fiction. While performing in the regional theatre circuit she
adapted works of 19th Century literature for the professional stage and her
one-act plays such as Favorite Ladygarnered national attention and continue
to be produced around the country. She hit the fantasy fiction scene with
her novella Dark Nestwhich won the 2009 Prism Award for excellence in
Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. Her critically acclaimed debut
novel, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker is the first in her
Strangely Beautiful series of ghostly, Gothic Victorian Fantasy novels
published by Dorchester Publishing and landed on Barnes & Noble's mass
market and overall Bestseller List.
Leanna uses her background in theater to break down theatrical constructs
and uses a unique hybrid approach in writing her novels.
