Launch Your Fiction and Nonfiction Writing Project

A 5 part writing series with Jeanette Taylor and Margo McLoughlin. Sundays, 1:00-3:30 p.m., March 2 to 30, 2025 at the Museum at Campbell River

Workshop Description

Have you got a writing project ready to launch? Or perhaps it’s a flagging manuscript that needs a recharge? Margo McLoughlin and Jeanette Taylor will guide participants through the portrayal of live-wire characters that snap to life within a captivating ‘stories’ and tips for maintaining writing momentum from start to finish. This workshop is applicable to fiction and nonfiction, including memoir.

Margo and Jeanette have taught writing workshops together for five years and both have decades of experience with writing, publication and instruction. Their goal is to support and encourage participants to achieve their best, through interactive discussions, writing exercises, readings and homework. The latter are designed to ensure the production of five (or more) polished scenes.

Sign up early because seats are limited and the instructors will begin work with you before the first class. Registrants are asked to write a ‘premise statement,’ a brief story synopsis (with instructions provided.) The instructors will use Google Classroom as an interactive means of sharing writing, peer and instructor responses and resources.

Cost: $195
Location: in the boardroom at the Museum at Campbell River
