In this generative workshop, participants will learn strategies for writing nonfiction stories on family: research and reporting, ideation, pacing, narration, organization, voice and tone, and creating an ensemble of "characters" who are specific to our origin stories but recognizable to any reader.
In this online workshop, each participant will brainstorm a story idea in their niche and we will work on a successful pitch.
