Mining Your Life for Story: Writing Creative Nonfiction Essays Inspired By Your Life with Lynne Golodner

Led by award-winning author and writing coach Lynne Golodner, this workshop guides writers in finding inspiration for writing, both nonfiction and fiction, from the people around you, the experiences you’ve had, the rooms of your home and more! You’ll learn how to write personal stories with universal appeal and how to cultivate a steady stream of writing prompts from the details of your daily life.
