This 90-minute workshop is a supportive space to explore your interest in writing a book by asking these questions:

Why would you write a book?
How do you know if you have a juicy enough idea for a full novel?
How do you gauge market interest in your book idea?
How do you get from idea to manuscript?
What are your next steps?

Includes a Q&A session on pathways to publication.
