Writing/Storytelling Workshops
I have experience designing and facilitating:
- Memoir-writing workshops for students and senior citizens.
- Customized storytelling workshops for offices.
- Collaborative creative nonfiction workshops that draw on No, YOU Tell It!’s page to stage process to help writers of all levels strengthen their writing and presentation skills.
- Sip-N-Scribe: A fun evening of creative writing prompts, idea swapping, and drink-sipping. Great as a team-building event!
Contact me to design a workshop that best fits the needs of your school, office, or organization.
