Classes & Events
What kinds of classes does Katrina teach?
I teach classes for beginning and experienced creative writers through Word’s Worth Writing Connections. We cover everything from completing a novel in a year to writing realistic dialogue and creating memorable characters. I give workshops to a variety of groups based on my “Reasons to Be Happy” lists and based on my own experience taking risks that lead to positive life changes. I also chat with fellow authors at bookstores and other venues.
