Writing Workshop: Back to the ABCs

Whether you’re just beginning your writing journey or have been on it for years, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by your work. In this workshop, I’ll introduce three simple, foundational steps—the ABCs—to help you move forward at any stage. By acknowledging where you are, you can better chart where you want to go. Be kind to yourself along the way! And don’t underestimate the power of a good craft book. These steps may seem simple, but they can be the difference between feeling stuck and making real progress.

Come early or stay after to browse Turn The Page Bookshop's amazing collection of books!
