About the event
Join writer and screenwriter Hope Thompson for a creative and engaging workshop focused on the art and craft of the short story. Crafting short stories can be a powerful way to explore the writing process, build skills for longer-form storytelling, or be a satisfying creative pursuit all on its own.
In this workshop, Hope will offer practical tools and strategies for writing in this unique, abbreviated form. Through group discussion and guided activities, participants will explore key elements such as character, structure, and narrative voice. You’re encouraged to bring your work, your questions, and your own ideas as we discuss writing challenges and opportunities in a supportive and collaborative space.
Registration required.
