This is a hands on class to help writers take their stories from being interesting to a can't-put-it-down quality. In a small group, we'll study the tricks of how to make writing engaging and memorable. Then we'll practice those tips on each others' stories with an eye to making each one more compelling and relatable to the writer's intended audience.

Participants must have a desire to improve their writing. They must also be willing to give and take suggestions about their own and other's stories in a safe environment.

NOTE: There are two tracks of this class being offered; one in person and one on Zoom. This is the in-person class.

----------

Instructor: Brenda Smith

I'm the author of the award winning memoir Becoming Fearless: Finding Courage in the African Wilderness (2023) and soon to be released Becoming Amazed: Discovering the World with Eyes Wide Open (2024). My essays have appeared in several anthologies including Rivers of Ink (2023). I've previously taught a writing course for Senior College called "The Story of Story," and another course on "Self Publishing for Authors."
