Weaving Your Story World: Workshop with Author Melora Fern

Got a story brewing but struggling to build the world around your characters? Local author Melora Fern leads this hands-on workshop designed to help writers of all experience levels craft settings and story worlds that feel genuine and integral to their narratives. You'll explore how themes, design choices, settings, and symbolism work together to create a backdrop where your characters truly come alive—not just scenery, but the very fabric of your story. Come ready to practice what you learn. Bring whatever writing tools you prefer—laptop, tablet, paper, pen, or pencil—so you can jump into an exercise during the session. Whether you're just starting out or have years of writing under your belt, this workshop welcomes everyone. Melora is the author of *Whistling Women and Crowing Hens*, a novel inspired by her grandmother's remarkable life as a traveling whistler in the 1920s. Registration is required and closes when the workshop begins.
