OUR NEXT EVENT
​
Join us for Sharp Pens’ Writers Academy, a two day retreat, where we will take an in-depth look at the 5.5 Elements of Story and use them to create a brand new adventure. Students will be encouraged to temporarily set aside their current projects in order to re-examine the way they approach writing. Developing a great story doesn’t have to be a mystery. Together, we’ll discover it’s a systematic and engaging process.
Packed with motivating lessons, effective techniques and exciting missions, Writers Academy will guide you through the story planning process and send you home ready to write an imaginative adventure… one you’ll not soon forget.
