SHORT STORY WRITING WORKSHOP

The Crucible

Where stories are forged.

THE PROMISE

By the end of this workshop, you will have written a complete short story — from the very first word to the very last.

Not an exercise. Not a fragment. A whole piece of writing, entirely yours. Forged in The Crucible*.

*Previously known as My Alchemy Writing Workshop

WORKSHOP DETAILS

4 weekends August/September
August 22-23 · 29-30 · September 5-6, 12 -13
Saturday – Sunday
4:30 pm to 6:30 pm

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You have stories in your head but can’t get them out

Your characters feel flat or unconvincing

You’ve always wanted to write fiction but never have

You start writing but lose the thread halfway

You don’t know how to begin – or how to end

You write – but your stories feel incomplete

A framework unlike anything you’ve encountered

The Crucible is powered by four powerful elements – the My Alchemy methodology – a writing framework that takes raw ideas and refines them into something finished and alive. Master the combination and the result is something rare: writer’s gold.
