Join us for a day-long workshop Led by Elizabeth Stark, renowned writer, editor, teacher and coach.

Capacity is limited, so sign up now to reserve your seat.

We'll gather for inspiration and warmup, then get to work digging deep to discover how to create characters in need of a story. After lunch, we'll turn to the twists and turns that create a page-turning ride for your characters.

This is a hands-on workshop: you'll have time to practice what you learn and share with others. And it's suitable for writers of memoir and creative non-fiction as well as fiction ... any storyteller interested in creating a compelling narrative will find value in this day!

Lunch will be provided.

Some details from Elizabeth:

We’ll do some warm up writing in the initial morning session, and then exercises in the main morning and afternoon sessions. These will include some Q&A and discussion of character and plot—what we know and what stymies us. My workshops tend to be a conversation among the examples I bring in, what we see and hear from them, what the students then write, and what we learn from all of it. Something grows between all of us, our writing, our questions and the answers our reading selves already know.

People are welcome to bring in character ideas and/or use the time to develop projects in process. Others may be inventing characters and situations on the spot. The exercises work for either situation.
