Hey haunting huns!
We are thrilled to release the schedule for the 2025 slate of Tiny Ghost Masterclass workshops! We've curated a range of topics that all have to do with crafting an amazing novel from the very start, with an eye to pursuing publication. Next year we'll look at the later stages of editing a novel and getting it out in the world but for now we wanted to start at the beginning, a very good place to start.
All of our workshops are run by an amazing author with so much industry experience and know-how and we cannot wait to see you there!
Our first workshop is a collaboration with the Long Island Univeristy's Summer Writing Program, and as such is FREE to attend!!!
For the LIU Summer Program's full list of event and to find out more, check out this link: https://liu.edu/swf
All the other workshops are $35, with a portion of proceeds going toward LGBTQ+ charities. By buying a ticket you will not only be giving to a good cause but helping us continue to publish books that center queer stories and champion queer representation. We are so grateful for your contributions!
All masterclasses will be held online and are welcome to anyone the world over.
And without further ado, here is our inaugural slate of workshops...
