Emotional honesty is a must-have for writers of both fiction and memoir, yet mastering such writing can be challenging, and uncomfortable too.

Emotional honesty matters from the very start – when we decide what story to tell. It is also crucial in fine-tuning our writer’s voice, in capturing, vividly, the complexity of human emotions and articulating the central conflict in our stories.

This workshop with writer Lee Kofman will guide you to hone all these foundational elements of storytelling.

Bookings are required for every attendee.

Refunds will be given for ticket cancellations up to 24 hours before the event. Eventbrite booking fees of $2.20 per ticket will not be refunded.
