For anyone in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area who might be interested (or know someone interested), I’m excited to announce that I’ll be leading a four-part fiction writing workshop on Monday evenings this October. Here are the details:

Where: Unitarian Universalist Church in Cherry Hill, NJ, Hillside Building, Lower Level
Dates: October 5, 12, 19, & 26, 2015
Time: 7 to 9 p.m.
Cost: Free!

Have no clue how to turn that novel idea in your head into actual words? Have a bunch of unfinished stories wasting away in a drawer? Or do you just want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of writing fiction?

This workshop is for anyone interested in writing short stories and novels, regardless of genre. Through examples, discussion, and writing exercises, we’ll explore core fiction elements like character, dialogue, setting, description, and plot.

Registration isn’t required, but if you’re planning to attend, please let me know so I can have a rough head count. You can reach  me by clicking on the email icon in the right sidebar or via the contact form linked to in the main menu above.

And bring something to write with! Pen and paper, laptop—whatever you’re most comfortable with! Granted, if you’re most comfortable with an inkwell full of blood and parchment made from the skin of your slain enemies, you’ll probably get some weird looks. Just saying.
