Have an idea but not sure how to start? Have a story but can't finish? Whatever your stage of writing and level of experience, join us to work on your craft and move your project(s) along. We will explore techniques related to dialogue, characterization, pacing and scenes in your non-fiction writing.
In this workshop, we will write and edit one another, read work out loud and help each other get unstuck in this collaborative and supportive workshop environment.
Non-fiction includes such things as life stories, personal narratives, travel and nature writing.
