Take your writing to the next level!
Take your writing to the next level in this series of topic-specific workshops designed to drill deeper into the finer points of story telling: memoir, journaling, characterization, dialogue, and research. In addition, you’ll learn how to overcome writer’s block whether you’re a planner, or if you write by the seat of your pants. By the end of the sessions, you’ll have the skills, confidence and strategies to take your writing to a professional level. Each day will include short writing assignments, plus the opportunity to have your work critiqued.
