Workshop

Telling Your Whole Story in the Age of Alternative Facts
Are you writing a non-fiction book or memoir that deals with a controversial topic but you're unsure about telling your whole story? Maybe you fear the potential denial or backlash from family, friends or the general public. In this workshop, Sheila Wise Rowe shares her journey of finding her voice and become a published author. She also draws from scripture and over twenty-five years of experience as a writer and therapist to help you to get clear and committed to the why and how of writing your whole true story even in the face of "alternative facts."
