We are thrilled to announce this, the first of three workshops focusing on craft this autumn—and we’re especially stoked that we have novelist and teacher extraordinaire, Cailean Steed, leading us into the colder months!

Are you unsure about how make your line work as good as your storytelling? Do you always feel like your sentences let you down? Or that you’re uncertain how to use and break the rules of grammar, syntax and sentence structure? This workshop is for YOU.

Here’s the blurb:

Join writer and semi-colon enthusiast Cailean Steed for a relaxed and supportive workshop focused on boosting your technical writing skills. This workshop is aimed at writers interested in improving their knowledge and understanding of the principles underpinning grammar, in order to create writing that is intentional and effective. 

To be held online, on Zoom, October 6th, 7-8:30pm
