Join award-winning author Karen McLeod for an inspiring, interactive and fun workshop that dives into the art of writing from life.
Through writing and drawing exercises you will explore how to uncover material, dig into the important stories of your life, then hone in on an idea to write a short story. If you're currently working on a memoir, this session might also help uncover a potential new chapter. By the end of the session, whatever you're experience as a writer, you’ll leave with a short story and be equipped with new tools and ideas to continue.

“I loved the course – it knocked me off my normal pattern of thinking and got me to try new things. Also, I've got mojo back."
“I got exactly what I wanted and needed on your course! I was looking for ways to access writing that felt all locked up inside of me and I didn’t want to ‘learn to write like everyone else’… Thank you for an absolutely fantastic experience.”
