(VIRTUAL) WRITING WORKSHOP
Cory Doctorow: All the Teachable Things I Know About Writing
5:30-6:30PM (8:30-9:30PM ET) TUESDAY, APRIL 13
 
LOCATION: ONLINE



This workshop will be hosted online as part of our virtual event series.

Cory Doctorow will share his time and knowledge in regards to everything he knows about writing.
 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

How do stories work? Why do people care about the travails of imaginary people who have never lived and whose most dire risks are of literally no consequence? What relationship does this have to writing? And how do you turn this into a story?

Cory Doctorow's theory of how stories work and where they come from—and a method for turning it into a daily practice of writing that reliably produces interesting stories—doesn't take long to articulate, but he's been working on mastering it for a lifetime. Maybe it won't take you as long (by his own admission, he's a slow learner).
