We all have a story inside, just waiting to come out. Whether fact or fiction, memories or exploration of an idea to paper.It might be an idea about love and romance, a mystery, fantasy, or a political suspense novel that’s been nagging at you for a long time. It can even be something about your experiences or your family history that you want to share with others. It might even be on a subject you want to explore on paper. Whatever it is, you really want to turn your ideas into stories that people want to read, but you don’t quite know how to do it. This creative writing workshop will help you find your voice and a clear path to writing your stories.

Over the series of classes, we will cover the basics of writing craft including, story and structure, character, point of view and voice, conflict and dialogue, setting and place, narrative and exposition. These are just a few of the elements of craft we’ll touch upon, but these are the most common. I’ll give you handouts and exercises to get started – all in a safe, supported environment. By the time you leave this class, you’ll share something only you can write – a memorable piece, scene by living scene. Just remember –Everybody’s story is worth telling!
