Story Structure Workshop - August 25th (6:00-7:30pm)


This workshop will be offered again in the future. If you’re interested in being the first to know about new workshops, please join my newsletter list here.


“Every story, from the simplest picture book to the most epic fantasy novel, begins with the question: Hmmm, what if?” - Lisa Cron

There is no “right” way to write a story. But—have you ever noticed most stories (and characters) follow a similar narrative journey?

We love reading stories that pick and pluck at our heartstrings. These stories are the ones where we care deeply about the struggles and triumphs of the main character.

Want to learn the simple storytelling formulas behind a compelling narrative?

Join me on August 25th as we write together and learn how to design a story from start to finish!

This workshop is great for anyone who:

  • Likes to write a lot—or a little!

  • Wants to try out a single writing workshop (it’s a quick 1.5 hours)

  • Looks forward to writing within a small group (there will never be more than 8 writers in the workshop)

You can expect to leave the workshop with:

  • Creative “formulas” for writing a meaningful story

  • At least a few paragraphs of new writing

  • Prompts to inspire your writing practice when you return home

  • A feeling of creative curiosity and possibility ✨

Where we’ll write:

This workshop will be at McTavish Academy of Art (1720 McTavish Rd). I’ll greet you at the door when you arrive!

Your workshop leader:

  • Hi, I’m Monika!

  • My short synopsis: I’m a freelance author of 50+ books for schools, and I firmly believe everyone is a writer. I also have a sky-high love for freshly-popped popcorn.

  • Want to get to know me better? I’ve got a mini bio here.

Want to join this workshop? Please bring with you:

  • A notebook and your favourite pen for writing. Or, if you prefer typing, please bring a digital device (eg. tablet, laptop).

  • Your enthusiasm and creativity!


Cancellation policy:
I completely understand that life can throw you curveballs! You can cancel your registration and receive a full refund up to three days before the workshop.
