From Brilliant Idea to Successful Publication
Everyone has stories to tell, and many of us want to put our stories into the hands of readers. In this interactive session we’ll explore the process of developing your story, from getting the initial spark, through putting it down on the page, to getting it published and out into world. Whether you envision your story as a novel, a short story, a memoir, or a personal essay, you’ll come away with inspiration, helpful information, and a clear idea of the path that leads to becoming a published author.
