I am so excited to co-host an event with dear friend and phenomenal writer Kandi Workman. She is a beautiful writer, teacher, and human being, and I know everyone will enjoy learning from and with her.
All you need for this workshop is a curious mind, and something to write on/with. There is absolutely zero experience necessary for this workshop...everyone from total beginners to seasoned writers are welcome.
This event is for adults.
This is a free workshop, and no ticket is required. RSVPs to this event page can help me prepare and are appreciated!
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
Feel free to reach out with questions to [email protected]
