Writing Fiction: Any Genre, No Genre
S.J. ROZAN
All fiction is woven from the same threads: character, setting, dialogue, plot, theme, pace. Genre fiction adds additional elements—crime stories lean heavily on plot, speculative fiction on setting.

Whether you’re drawn to the emotional authenticity of memoir, the boundless creativity of fiction, or the infectious world of theater, this workshop will help you transform life’s experiences into powerful, memorable narratives.
