Writing on the Edge: Taking Risks That Work

Ever wonder what it really takes to turn a bold writing choice into a story that works? What happens when you bring that same daring to your own short story drafts?
Join New Jersey author Alyson Mosquera Dutemple for this 90-minute short story writing workshop, offering an inside peek into the writing of her published collection, Marvelous Freaks of Nature. Alyson shares one gutsy writing move she made for each of the thirteen stories in her book and reveals how those leaps unlocked hidden potential in the drafts along the way.
Attendees get the chance to apply that same daring to their own drafts through prompts and exercises, so bring a piece of your own writing to experiment with. Whether you’re chasing a bolder voice, a stranger structure, or just permission to take a leap on the page, this workshop offers a hands-on look at what a well-placed gamble can do for a story.
All experience levels welcome.
