| A fun and informative “pen-to-the-page,” exercise-based workshop that is guaranteed to give students a new perspective on narrative. Plot structure, descriptive language and characterization are all distilled from a story or memoir students already know. Applicable for all levels of experience. You'll never again hear, “I don’t know what to write about!” |
