It\u2019s a weekend long writing workshop inside of the convention! Drop in to your choice of more than 20 different workshops and sessions. Most will be in the Columbus Room, which you\u2019ll find tucked away behind the main elevators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Writers\u2019 Room workshop focuses on building story elements such as character, world building, and story structures for the novice writer while providing a good refresher for the more experienced storyteller. We\u2019ll also deep dive into more focused topics and explore the business of writing. You\u2019ll have the opportunity to ask experienced pros your difficult questions, pick the brains of professional editors, and meet fellow writers in a relaxed and welcoming space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
