The Backstory Above
A community & coworking space for writers & readers
Classes and Events
Our classes bring in teachers who facilitate workshops and talks focused on creativity, writing, and learning the the publishing industry
This 90 minute workshop will stimulate participants to consider what they want out of publishing, and which of today’s many paths is best suited for their personally defined success. As any journey to publication is long, even beginning writers will benefit by learning how to set themselves up early for success; and advanced writers who are ready to submit will benefit from being able to take away focused and actionable next steps. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the complex but exciting state of today’s publishing industry.
Afterwards, we’ll host a reception with snacks and drinks for folks to mingle and learn from each other.
