Getting Started on Your Story
February 21 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Pacific
We all have stories to tell, but the hardest part is usually figuring out where to begin. Join us to develop a story that makes sense, entertains, and connects with your audience. Whether you arrive with a fully formed outline, half a scene, or a distant memory of a conversation, we’ll show you a solid strategy for piecing together an impactful story. This is a generative workshop, meaning we’ll be writing, sharing, and offering feedback as we go. This workshop is recommended for all levels–whether you’ve never written before or you’re a published author, you’ll be able to leave with a solid outline or even a first draft of your story.
