Develop the practice of listening to your writing voice.
Like yoga, the art of writing is a practice. Join Writer in Residence Brandi Larsen as she gives writers a deeper understanding of the Story Workshop Method. A method designed for community and individual practice, please come prepared to write and play. We’ll sit in a semi-circle, work with word games and oral storytelling, and take to the page with exercises designed to help us develop the practice of listening to our writing voice.
Writer in Residence Brandi Larsen is a writer, speaker, and coach creating a more inclusive publishing landscape. Her focus in residency is inspiring writers to understand their work through the lenses of community, craft, and commerce.
As a publishing executive at Penguin Random House, Brandi's work helped books become bestsellers. As a journalist, her efforts earned Emmy nominations. As a speaker, her talks about publishing, leadership, and purpose inspire audiences from Zoom to Harvard.
