About the event
Come to a “digital detox” literary spa day! We’ll play some interactive games and explore techniques successful writers use to bring their stories to life. Then, we’ll delve into the alchemy of collaborative storytelling and write our own tales—with a twist! Bring pen, paper, your imagination, and a desire for face-to-face communication without screens!
