Learn how to write stories that resonate on a subconscious level.

If you boil them down, there are only seven stories in the world. In this hands-on, interactive workshop, participants learn how to create stories that connect with readers on a subconscious level. Whether you write novels, screenplays, video game scripts, or fanfiction, this workshop is for all kinds of storytellers.

Sara Fujimura is a former journalist turned Young Adult author who writes stories for intelligent, adventurous, globally-minded teens who aren't afraid to love someone different than themselves.  

AAPLD embraces inclusivity in its programs and services. To request accommodations, please email [info@aapld.org] or call (847) 458-6060 x143 at least 7 days in advance.
