Do you or your writing group want to improve your fiction writing? The best way to learn your craft is through a workshop where information and interaction intersect!
Workshops are available in-person in Northern Nevada & Truckee/Tahoe or online globally. All levels of writing are catered to, but these workshop series build on each other. Send me a message through my CONTACT ME page to let me know what you’re interested in booking and how many people will be attending!
