Writing the Perfect Chapter/Story, September 26, Rehoboth Location TBA ($60.00
If you are not sure how to begin a new chapter in your novel or memoir, or if you’re wondering what to include, what not to include (how much history, how much flashback, how much description), this one-day workshop is for you.
