Dana Neily's Something From Nothing Workshop!
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Writers of all experience levels are welcome to come to this workshop with nothing but a pen and some paper, and leave with a new piece (or at least a workable draft!). Participants at the beginning of this workshop will write two separate free-writes, and then choose one of them to work on for the rest of the time. We will do exercises for brain-storming, editing, and getting unstuck at different phases of the writing process. All participation is voluntary and you can engage at whatever level you prefer. Come get started writing in a fun environment, or learn new tools for your toolbox the next time you are having trouble with a piece.
15 seats are available for purchase ahead of time and we will be offering limited tickets at the door - guarantee your seat and get your ticket now! Seats purchased at the door will be cash only - please bring exact change.
12 of the online tickets are being offered at the regular rate of $10 and the remaining 3 are being offered at the benefactor rate of $20 to subsidize folks who want to attend but can't afford it.
If you would like a subsidized ticket or have any questions, please contact VPP's Executive Director, Shayli Robinson, at vppdirector@gmail.com.
ABOUT DANA:

She has been on the Vic Slam team twice and was the 2017 Victoria representative at the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam.
