For "Bad" Writers Only: Micro-Memoir Workshop (VIRTUAL)

You don't really have to be "bad", but if you are, you're welcome here. Find the Light Books is not a place for perfection, but truth. A place to turn your lived experience into a crafted micro-memoir—fast. This 2-day virtual workshop (1.5 hrs/day - Tuesdays OR Thursdays) pairs directly with the FTL Anthology Workbook (included) to help you find your voice and take ownership of your story; all while preparing for submission and publication in our Your Story. Your Voice. Anthology Project at no additional cost.
