Release Your Inner Storyteller!   

Virtually everyone has an unwritten book stuck inside them. It’s time for yours to get a nudge to dislodge it and bring it to life.  Your instructor guides you through writing essentials, starting with the “how” and working toward the “why”.  The goal is for you, as a beginner, to come away with a rough synopsis of your hidden book as well as gain the tools and confidence to continue your writing journey. You'll learn to believe you can write a book. Focus on storytelling basics. Define the story you want to write. Embrace stellar writing components. Understand how to sidestep mistakes typically made by new authors. Refine your work by editing, tightening and rewriting. Class format includes presentations, discussions and writing exercises designed to stimulate your imagination. 

Recommended: Laptop or notebook and pencil
