Upcoming Writing Workshop
Join writer/editor Kim Harkness and writing mentor/agent Sam Hiyate for 3 hours on 3 Saturdays on the idyllic setting of the camp-like environment of Muggs Island, off Centre Island, home of the Island Yacht Club. We will: look at your piece with new eyes, taking you through a series of questions and exercises that will inspire you to get your piece ready to publish. What you’ll need: A story idea you’ve been pondering, a first draft or a piece that you just can’t complete.
