Youth Workshop Build Your Own Adventure with novelist Caighlan Smith!
WHO: Writers under 30 years old
WHAT: A 2-hour workshop on story structure and character development

Where will your adventure take you rather, where will you take your adventure?
This workshop, for youths aged 12+, guides writers through the creation of their own adventure story, loosely following Joseph Campbells concept of the heros journey.
Writers will participate in discussions and group brainstorming about heroes and adventure tropes, while piece by piece assembling their own journey for their own hero.
The workshop illustrates the hero development mechanics of a well-structured adventure story, so that writers come away not just with adventure narrative-building tools but with ample character development tools and tricks.
Fantasy, Science Fiction, and all genre fiction fans are welcome!
Registrants are encouraged to submit any questions they would like to have answered by Caighlan to info@wanl.ca.
