For someone who’s inclined to write, any powerful, formative experience is a nugget of gold. By working from that material, you can create moving stories that forge a strong bond with readers and motivate you.
So what are the stories that only you can tell, because of what life has given you? In this mini-version of Janet’s usual workshop, through talks, short guided exercises, and discussions, you’ll expand and deepen your story resources and invigorate your approach to writing.
Janet Benton is the author of the historical novel Lilli de Jong, published by Nan A. Talese/Doubleday in 2017 and by Anchor in 2018, as well as in e-book, audiobook, and large-print editions. It tells the story of an unwed mother in 1883 Philadelphia who aims to keep her baby amid fierce prejudice.
Kirkus Reviews called it a “monumental accomplishment,” Amazon picked it as a best book of the month, and Library Journal, NPR, and others named it a Best Book of 2017. Readers made it a semifinalist for a reader’s choice award at Goodreads.
