This seminar will explore how to write a business plan; business A-B-Cs; identifying strengths and weaknesses; where to find clients and how to reach them; how to set rates; and how to run your business so that it doesn’t run you. |

Want to learn how narrative arc, scenes, dialogue, dramatic tension, and descriptive detail will pump life into your stories? This is the class you need! This seminar will shake you out of old habits, flex your brain and writing muscles, and fill you with ammunition to be all you can be—as a writer and as a personal historian. |
