If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, this workshop will teach you to write an epic novel. Participate in an intensive three-day workshop on creating a story without words. You will explore and apply the elements of the story including character development, body language, passage of time, flow, perspective, and personal style. The instructor, a professional graphic artist, illustrator and story-teller, will offer instruction, critique and suggestions that will help you to develop your idea from concept to final product - your own small book.
