Story Reno Studio
The Story Reno Studio is a 12-week intensive literary development series for new generation writers living and working on the margins. The series is open to writers working in any literary discipline who want to evolve a rough draft (or even an idea) into a polished manuscript. Writers will receive comprehensive mentorship in developing story, character, voice, plot, and style, and will have the opportunity to have their work constructively critiqued, and to critique the work of other writers in a supportive environment.
In addition to group workshops, offsite editorial and developmental consultation will be available.
