Calling all avid readers! Writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón said “Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you." In this workshop, we’ll use aspects of our personal favorites as a muse for our own uniquely beautiful writing. With several imaginative prompts and fun exercises, we’ll mine the books we’ve enjoyed for seeds of inspiration—and we’ll be surprised by the original, unexpected ideas that flow onto the page. Join in for a celebration of two wonderful things—the literature we love, and, most importantly, our own personal brand of creativity!
What to bring*:
Seven books that you love
*Do you use an e-reader? No problem—just have your e-library on hand!
