  • Help developing your unique voice and staying motivated as a writer.
  • Deeper understanding of the overall culture purpose of storytelling.

You will be guided through some of Laurie’s favorite exercises from the Now Write! series to quiet the inner critic, get your creativity flowing and work on key elements of writing.
A safe creative environment will be established through a non-judgmental approach to feedback to avoid premature criticism that tends to stifle good writing.
This interactive Master Class is limited in size, so you receive a maximum amount of individual attention in a workshop environment. Become a better more empowered writer.  Get personal attention on your work and career– insight you will not receive anywhere else!
