Purpose:

The workshop will offer practical resources that give emerging writers the tools and direction they need to build their careers. Resources include a Portfolio Blueprint with helpful links, resources, and guidance for creating a professional writing portfolio; a Writing Portfolio Plan to help participants determine what to include and how to present their work; a Personal Brand Statement exercise to clarify who they are, what they write, and what they want to be known for; a Prompt and Storyboarding Toolkit to help generate ideas and develop stories; and a Personal Action Plan that turns their goals into clear, actionable next steps.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

The workshop would be structured as a half-day intensive, with a two-hour session in the morning, followed by a lunch or snack break, and then another two-hour session. We would wrap up after lunch, giving participants a focused and immersive experience without taking up the full day.

In summary:

• Practical ways to building writing skills, exercises, prompts, etc. 

• Writing as a business, ways to build income through writing

• Portfolio planning, my approach to crafting a portfolio for serious writers
