STORY LAB for QUEERS
a writing workshop with Anna Camilleri
March 7 & 10, 2009 | Vancouver, BC
Story Lab is a two-session (day-long + one evening) writing workshop intensive that focuses on narrative and scene-based action, and how to weave them to build autobiographically-based/inspired or fiction stories with momentum, pulse, 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 queer writers who wish to develop in their craft. Arrive with an open mind and leave with a stack of new writing.
