A Writing Workshop with Andi Cumbo! Friday, June 19 at 7pm.
Join us for an intimate Friday evening as we explore the winding paths of a diverse writing life. From the quiet, puzzling streets of a cozy mystery and the whimsical heart of romantic comedy to the expansive realms of fantasy and the grounded truths of creative nonfiction and history, we will dive into the distinct magic of each world.
Writing across such varied landscapes is a constant balancing act. I’ll be sharing readings from several of my works while pulling back the curtain on the "multi-genre" experience. We’ll discuss the exhilaration of never being bored and the creative freedom of shifting styles—as well as the hurdles of keeping multiple voices distinct and the logistical puzzle of managing different audiences.
Whether you are a reader of one of these genres or a fellow writer navigating your own creative boundaries, come for a literary evening of stories and a candid conversation about the beautiful chaos of writing it all.
