Sometimes It's OK to Tell: How to Bend (and Break) Writing Rules

For the writer who is ready to finally get beyond "show, don't tell!" This is perfect for you! We're excited to welcome back K.M. Veohongs for another great class! 

Writers are constantly bombarded by advice and "rules" -- often conflicting -- on how to craft the perfect story. This class will not only deconstruct some of the most common writing "rules" other there, but also give you the tools to analyze future advice and find out how to make it work for your unique process.

As the daughter of an immigrant to the US, she’s often pulled to write about diaspora feelings and the harms perpetuated by colonialism. She is an alum of the Viable Paradise and Roots.Wounds.Words. writing workshops and won a 2023 Ignyte Community Award as part of the Flights of Foundry convention.
