Writing the Past: Storytelling Workshop

A two-week workshop for writers who want to set stories in the ancient world, led by Malayna Evans, Ph.D., author of *Neferura* and *Isis of Egypt*. Sessions meet Sunday, December 6 and 13, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in the La Salle Banks Room (basement) of the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures. The coursework covers character development, plotting with meaningful stakes, thematic intent, first lines, point of view, and finding an audience, mixing lectures, discussion, and writing prompts. It’s designed for both newcomers and experienced writers, and every registrant gets a copy of Evans’ latest book, *Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones*. Registration is $15.
