Giselle has been writing fiction for the past six years and throughout that process has come to understand that the only way to write fiction that feels genuine, is to pull from reality. In this workshop you will develop your skills in writing fiction through understanding how every work of fiction must be based in truth, and how to use that truth to create each part of a story.

This workshop is going to expand your ability to write fiction honestly, help you create authentic characters and settings, and plot believable story lines. If you have ever wondered how to make your fiction writing really shine, or how to begin writing fiction at all, this is the place to be!
