Putting one's life story down on paper is both courageous and cathartic. So how do you get from "I'm going to do that someday" to that day? This six-part workshop will show you how. Bring the draft you've already got, or come ready to start. Published author and ghostwriter, Leeanne Seaver will cover technique, content organization, literary devices, and story construction. You'll be expected to write between sessions and drafts may be workshopped as a group. We will read selections from our work in the final class.
