​​​​​​​About Writing Craft Workshop
Good Story Company has partnered with the Much Ado About Writing team, led by the awesome Kate Penndorf and Valerie Heller. They’ve designed a monthly craft-focused workshop that covers a new writing concept in-depth every month, offers writing exercises, feedback, and critique opportunities. They also bring in special guests (acquisitions editors, agents, and authors). Mary Kole will be joining them in creating materials, teaching, and moderating these exciting new offerings.

Join the Writing Craft Workshop as a full member, which will give you access to our interactive community of fellow writers, the in-depth teaching calls, workshops, critique opportunities, guest lectures, and so much more.

About Much Ado About Writing
Have you ever been to a conference or workshop and loved what you learned? Then went home and secretly wished you were still at the conference, networking with the friends and groups you met there? Or, perhaps while writing your manuscript, you thought how wonderful it’d be to get some feedback? Saying yes to any of these questions is why Much Ado About Writing came into existence.

Now at Writing Craft Workshop, our online community invites you to ask questions during live-calls, implement what you’ve learned from our craft sessions, offer feedback on members’ pages while receiving insight and edits on yours, participate in interviewing authors and experts, hone your skills, and discover the publishing business including marketing. We’re here to guide and engage you on your writing journey in any genre.
