Save 15% when you register for all three workshops. We'll be meeting over Zoom on Sunday mornings, 9:00 - noon Central time.
Each workshop is designed around exercises and discussion, not lectures. So while Alida will teach the day's topic, you'll be sure to put new skills and knowledge into practice during our call.
Seats are limited to ensure a small student-teacher ratio and create the best learning experience possible.
- Writing Backstory into Your Now-Story, September 12
- Weaving Together Character, Plot, & Theme, September 26
- Making Your Readers Fear & Fear for Your Characters, October 24
