New Course at the Toronto Women's Bookstore with Anna Camelleri this February

STORY LAB:
a five-week memoir writing workshop with Anna Camilleri

Story Lab is a five-week writing intensive that focuses on narrative and scene-based action, and how to weave them to build stories with momentum, and clarity of voice.

Participants will work with elements including tension, conflict, dialogue, point of view, compressed and stretched time— particular attention will be paid to setting and details, characterization, and structure.

The emphasis is on directed writing practices in a supportive group setting, constructive feedback, and focused discussion.

Story Lab is for writers who wish to develop in their craft.
