Turn Your Story Into a Book
Summer 2022 Class Schedule

Do you have a story idea that everyone says should be a book? Unfortunately, an idea or concept is not a story. Every story has to have a message and a story arc, and has to logically flow from one point to the next. This class shows you first how to find your story's overall message, and then how to structure your story so that it has a relatable beginning, middle, and end that engages readers. This is not just a writing class, but a story development class, designed to give you clarity when you sit down to write your story.

This is a live, online zoom class with Stacy as your instructor

  1. Find the message of your story
