Editor of the book, Robin Behn, will be joined by contributors Brian Oliu and Tasha Coryell, who will walk audience members through various writing exercises from the book.
Please join us via Zoom for an inspiring evening that will get you writing, get you thinking, and maybe even have you laughing or crying as you create new characters and play with language. All you need is a pen and your imagination!
