Having trouble working your ideas into a story, tackling the blank page or getting unstuck? Then the Art of the Jump-Start is for you. In this three-hour session, Geist editors C.E. Coughlan and Sarah Maitland will help you get writing with a series of exercises that will unleash your creative juices. Bring along your ...favourite pen or pencil and be prepared to write!
You’ll go home with some great paragraphs, ideas for future projects and a whole lot of inspiration.
This workshop is for new writers of fiction or creative non-fiction and for more established writers who need a tune-up.
And hey, the workshop’s on Mother’s Day, so why not bring (or send) your mom?
