In this generative fiction writing workshop taught by Jane V. Blunschi, participants will learn, discuss, and practice techniques for identifying and writing characters through the lens of motivation.

Contemporary texts will be provided and no prior writing experience is necessary.

This workshop is part of our new annual Writers Weekend series for adults interested in writing and publishing their work, including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and journalistic writing of all lengths and styles. Join us to sharpen your skills, connect with fellow writers, and take the next step toward publication!
