After the Aha! Moment — Transforming an Idea Into a Story

with Melanie Sumrow

In this workshop, we’ll discuss what to do after you have that great idea. How do you develop an idea into a whole story? We’ll explore how to move from a story pitch to a summary of your story to character development and more!

The meeting will be online (via Zoom) on Sunday, September 27th, 2:30–4:00pm.
