Whether you’re writing flash fiction, a novel, or a full-length memoir, there are “tricks of the trade” that can help writers bring their stories more vividly to life.  Taught by New York Times bestselling memoirist and novelist Susan Jane Gilman, this workshop will offer a lively crash course on essentials for good creative writing.  There will be instruction, short writing exercises to help participants grasp techniques themselves, and Q & A. Please bring an old-fashioned notebook, a writing instrument, enthusiasm, and the caffeinated beverage of your choice.
