It Looks Like I’m a Teacher Now! Promo Material from Bristol, PA, Library (May 3 Fiction Writing)

I have to say I’ve never considered myself a teacher and I use the term “facilitator” in my workshops. I don’t see attendees as students, but as participants, and my role as encouraging their exploration and bringing-forth (I cringe at the word “manifest” for some reason) their own creative desires.

BUT … in the fiction writing  and self-publishing workshops I am teaching. There’s no flash writing or exercises, it’s all “how to” material. So yes, I’m a teacher. I’d never imagined it, until I did!

“Have you wondered where story ideas come from? Or how to take an idea and turn it into fiction? What do you do when you get stuck? How are some of the ways we can keep ourselves going from the whisper of an idea to a full-fledged short story or novel? Learn structure, outlining, narrative, point of view, and more, as you become what you want to be, or what you already are: a writer.

Registration is required.
