"For most people, hard becomes easier when they learn how to structure a story," said Ash. "Knowing how to shape a story empowers new writers. A structure is like a mold into which people can pour their experiences and insights. It's the difference between living raw reality and producing a piece of art."
Participants will outline and write a piece of their own mini memoir and personal essay. They will also learn the difference between the two, as well as techniques for short memoiric writing and the elements to a marketable personal essay and how to sell and distribute their work.
The workshop takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Cuppa Pulp Writers' Space is at 119 Main St. in Nyack.
Attendance is $215 or $165 if registered by May 15. The workshop includes a mini-reflexology session with Elle Levenson.
