In this 3-hour hands-on, interactive workshop, learn to master the craft of writing short stories through narrative poetry.

Award-winning filmmaker and published author Kagan Goh will facilitate a workshop in which he shares his knowledge of how to craft a narrative short story.

He will provide examples from his own work, as well as from short-story writer and poet Raymond Carver.

Participants will learn to turn a recollection, memory, anecdote, imaginary idea or an impression into a short story.

Participants will have plenty of opportunities for interaction, as they practice writing exercises in the spirit of exploration, experimentation, fun and play during the workshop. Come with a curious and open mind, pen and writing pad.  Be prepared to be surprised and astonished by the new stories you will generate during this workshop.
