Writing Workshops 

So, you’ve always thought you wanted to be a writer, but you don’t know where to start. Join veteran writer and editor, Vernon Oickle, for this hands-on workshop as he helps you take the first steps. 

As the author of 47 books, Vernon will give you tips and guidance on how to start writing, how to pitch publishers and how to get your book published.   

Jan will lead you through three fast-paced modules. “What Am I Even Doing Here?” will review several most popular methods of writing: one of them could be a good fit for you. Do you know why you want to write? Learn to proudly take your place in the great host of writers. Are there impediments? You betcha—real and fake. In “Tripwires” we’ll learn about two of the most popular ways to fail. In “Break the Spell”, we’ll chase them away with an effective and fun exercise you can use anywhere!
