My BFF, Mandy Manning (2018 National Teacher of the Year), LOVES to write scary stories! She will guide you to writing your own horror stories in this virtual class.

Writing what you fear

This 90-minute workshop will explore taking our fears into the real-world through how we see them, taste them, smell them, hear them, and feel them. We will take basic fears and worries and take them to their darkest most dire places within every day life. Be ready to put pen to page and face your fears at a visceral level as we invite our readers to experience them with us. 

$10 (scholarships available)
