Writing Workshops

I offer writing workshops for writing retreats, author convention panels, writing groups, author critique groups, or editing workshops.

What makes these workshops unique is that the words literally come to life.

 

Authors can either have their work read aloud by audiobook narrators, or have them acted out by professional actors.

They'll also hear from industry professionals on how to craft authentic, impactful storytelling. Topics focus on writing fight scenes and writing intimate scenes.

Contact me to book a workshop for your writing group or convention!

Reviews

Jared Kirby's expertise was mind blowing, I could've picked his brain all day long! Combined with the literary talents of Megan with her top-tier editing, and the talents of the narrators, this experience was incredible. I learned so much, and having so much creative magic in one (digital) zoom was such a treat. I cannot wait to attend my next one!
