Writing Workshop: Write Within Systems

About the WorkshopThe writing workshop will be based on the methods and systems that Lee Langvad has used in his own books, where form plays a crucial role. There will be short presentations from the author followed by writing exercises and feedback.

As a participant, you will experience your writing being thrown in new, unexpected directions, and hopefully you will leave here with new inspiration for your writing.
