Writing Workshop

Routes to Publication & The Art of Character Building

Discover the heart of storytelling and the many ways to share it with the world. In this hands-on workshop, prolific short story author Sarah Wilson Gregory joins novelist and Tome Books owner J.M. Clark to guide writers through the essentials of character development and the varied paths to publication.

Learn how to craft layered, compelling characters that feel real on the page, and how to take your finished stories from the desk to the wider world. Sarah will share insights from her experience publishing across numerous literary journals, while J.M. offers perspective from both sides of the shelves as a writer and bookseller.

All genres and experience levels welcome. Come ready to write, think, and get inspired.
