Virtual Class: Write What Haunts You

Ever get the chills? No, not the 25 below zero kind. The kind of chilly feeling that lingers long after a dream, an experience or troubling moment in life. Mary Casanova, author of many award-winning novels, believes our strongest stories start from within, from things we fear and moments that haunt us. Join her in an intensive online class that will help you dig deeper for your best story material and launch your own story—one that readers can’t put down!
