Workshop Events
Award-winning poet and author Victoria Marie Lees has offered writing workshops at local assisted living facilities, libraries, teen writers’ groups, as well as adult writing groups and at Writers’ Conferences.
Topics Include:
Fiction and Memoir
Characterization, plot techniques, dialogue, scenes, backstory
Poetry
Imagery, figures of speech, meter and rhyme, types of poetry
Non-Fiction
What’s your point/What are you trying to prove with your writing? Journalists and creative non-fiction writers need to state their points concretely and clearly. Word Choice, Word Order, and Word Placement Matter.
These can be half-hour to hour-long, personalized workshops for beginner through intermediate writers. In-person meetings for the Pocono area of Pennsylvania are available. Zoom meetings can be scheduled as well.
You can reach out to Victoria by email at authorvmlees@victoriamarielees.com or through the form on her contact page for more information about working with Victoria one-on-one for beginning writers or to schedule a workshop.
