You've started writing a book - or maybe you've been dreaming about it for years. What comes next?

Join longtime writer and author Winter Collins for an encouraging and practical workshop that walks you through the writing process from idea to finished manuscript.

Learn about the different stages of writing, discover valuable resources that can help you along the way, and explore strategies for staying motivated so you can finally finish your book.

Topics include:

  • Understanding different writing approaches, including plotting, pantsing, and plantsing
  • Finding helpful resources, writing groups, and networking opportunities
  • Staying motivated through gamification, writing communities, and other accountability strategies
  • Practical tips for building momentum and completing your manuscript
