Writers Workshop: Mining for Stories with Leah Sottile

“Mining for Stories” a Writers Workshop

Leah Sottile will run participants through a number of writing prompts, with the hopes that the ideas the group will generate in class will help participants get started on new works.

Each participant will need to bring a fresh notebook and pens, or a laptop if that’s what they’re used to writing on. All of these exercises will work for both fiction and essay.

The workshop is sign up only as there are a limited number of slots. Workshop fee is $20 per person.

You may sign up by emailing Christy Pickett at christy@dearbutte.com
