Rewrite Your Life (Full-day)

This one-day presentation is directed at writers in any genre and of any age and skill level.

According to common wisdom, we all have a book inside of us. But how do we select and then write our most significant story, the one that helps us to evolve and invites pure creativity into our lives, the one that people line up to read? In Rewrite Your Life, creative writing professor, sociologist, TEDx presenter, and popular fiction author Jessica Lourey (MA, MS) takes you step-by-step through the redemptive process of crafting and selling an experience-based novel.

Based on the approach Lourey developed and field-tested in the wake of her husband's 9/11 suicide, this workshop combines research, writing guidance, and interactive exercises. Tender, raw, funny, and instructional, Rewrite Your Life offers both a map and a model for those seeking to transform themselves through the simple, profound act of novel writing. Attendees will leave with a handout of publishing suggestions and resources. (This session runs from 6-9 hours based on need. AV equipment—screen, wireless projector or projector with USB adapter on other end of cord—required.)
