Dorothy Allison said, “When a writer is successful in using a story taken from experience, it is not told exactly the way it happens, but in the way that reveals, through all one’s beliefs, hopes, and fears, how the event should have happened.” In this workshop, we will discuss how to take real-life experiences and transform them into fiction, asking the question: What can I add, change, or subtract to make this a more compelling story? Please bring something to write with. No experience necessary.
