If you have a story to tell whether that story is a children's picture book, a middle-grade or YA novel, a short story, a memoir, or a piece of flash fiction, this workshop will help you discover the heart of your tale and the narrative structure best suited to your voice and intention. In a supportive environment, participants will share their texts with their fellow writers and with the instructor. Detailed individual critiques, line edits and notes will be offered along with class discussion, prompts and published examples of fine storytelling. Instructor's approval required prior to registering. Email a one- to three-page writing sample or synopsis of your novel or picture book in progress to lgbasswebsite@gmail.com. Once approved, I will provide information for registration.
"I loved Laura Geringer Bass's writing workshop at the JCC so much that I've already taken it twice and will sign up again. With grace, humor, kindness, insight and a lot of inspiring prompts, she helps students through the creative process, greatly improving our work along the way. Her wisdom and guidance helped me sell two books to a topnotch publisher. I can't wait to work with her again!” —Joanna Cotler, artist and picture book author
