Drawing on Experience for Fiction Writing: FREE Generative Workshop
Join us at Parleaux Beer Lab on March 24, 2026 at 6:30 PM for a fun and interactive workshop! We'll explore how your own experiences can spark fresh ideas for fiction writing. Whether you're a beginner or just looking to shake up your storytelling, this session is all about creativity and sharing. Bring your imagination and get ready to write!
Free and open to the public. No experience necessary. In partnership with Saints and Sinners Literary Festival and Book Banter Books, who will be on-site selling books and more!
We can't wait to create with you <3
