Finding the Heart of Your Story

From a great opening paragraph to the final word, a story must tie together to keep the reader believing in the characters and engaged in the plot. Join Anne Lazurko in this interactive workshop to discover how to find and craft the through line of your story. We will explore how to ensure that every element contributes to the work and its meaning. Come prepared to write, share and discuss as we discover the heart of your story.

This program is in-person. Register through the RPL website to receive a reminder, the evaluation and any resource materials.
