Master Narratives Writing Workshop
Local author & educator Dr. Stephanie Han presents this generative creative process workshop that explores the complexities and ideas of Master Narratives.

Most significantly, the Master Narratives guide our approach to our subject matter and our identities as writers. $100 per person for 2-hour workshop. Click here for more information.
