Want to write a scary story but not sure how or where to begin? Sèphera Girón will help you navigate the key elements of a short story and hook readers from the start.

Key points will include developing story ideas, choosing a point of view, deciding where your story begins, the most important elements of a scary story, outlining key story points, and more. It will also cover practical considerations such as finding writer’s prompts, combatting writer’s block, managing your copyright, and how to use real people and places in your work. Attendees will share opening sentences and hooks for feedback.
