We all have stories to share, including that special story we've been meaning to write. The funny, poignant, clever story. The one we love to share with friends, family, and colleagues.  But what makes a great story? Whether fiction or non-fiction, whether comedy or drama, great stories need engaging characters and strong narratives. In this workshop, participants will review the art and craft of storytelling while writing one story, from first to final draft. Participants will share and critique each other's work and, at the last session, explore opportunities for publication. The world is waiting for our stories. Start here!
