Stories of Our Hearts: Fictional Retellings with Chris Baron
Using our deepest experiences to tell compelling stories of hope and wholeness for young people.
In this workshop, we will explore how we can write fictional stories for young people that come from the most authentic places in our lives. Through discussion, writing exercises, QandA, and collaboration, we will learn about how Middle Grade and YA fiction can make an impact in the world, and why your story is one worth telling–whether you are just starting, or anywhere along the way, we will investigate and practice how to deepen the stories of our hearts.
