About the event
Kristin Darell's character equation and storytelling workshop invites you to draw on your own experiences, memories, and everyday knowledge as the spark for brand-new stories.
Rather than teaching writing as a technical exercise, Kristin encourages you to see yourselves as natural storytellers, showing you how to take what's familiar and twist it into something fictional and fun. It's the same approach that inspired her new series, It's a Twin Thing, drawn straight from her life as a twin.
Books will be available for purchase and signing on the day.
