This workshop series is geared toward aspiring female novelists, writers looking to sharpen their craft, and anyone with a story they’ve been waiting to tell. Participants will learn to craft compelling characters, worlds and plots. Ryan will share her creative process, while also walking attendees through their own brainstorming exercises.

Join for one workshop, or all three. Leave the dates you’re signing up for in the notes with purchase. If you sign up for all three, we will return $25 to you after purchase.

Class meets at The Orange Spot in Park Circle.

-Creating Unforgettable Characters: What does it take to build a compelling protagonist? In this session, participants explore motivation, stakes, flaws, and growth. Ryan demonstrates how strong character choices drive powerful stories—and how to bring authentic “main character energy” to the page.

This workshop is intended for women only, which aligns with our mission.
