Reader's Choice: An Interactive Story Workshop

Every story consists of infinite choices: What point of view, what medium or genre, what structure? What do the characters do, and when and why? Every word, even, is a choice. As writers, we're used to making these choices, even if in some way we believe our characters are making choices for themselves. But what happens when we give up some control and let the reader make choices in our stories?

In this generative workshop, we'll draft stories and play with the choices therein. Drawing on forms like choose-your-own-adventure and mad libs, we'll explore ways to open up choice to the reader.

Come prepared to write, listen, and play.
