Each month for six months–through readings, conversations, livewriting, and live craft-based instruction–you will be given the opportunity to consider, discuss, and practice applying the featured author’s craft techniques to your own writing and creative lives. Join us for this fun, enlightening, dynamic experience–and Joyfully Live the Writing Life!
