Library of Literary Techniques, Ideas & Devices
Every Tuesday, writers from around the world meet online to explore a literary topic, creative challenge, concept or device together. Each week, the community votes on what we’ll explore, and the session becomes part of a growing learning library of creative writing lessons, exercises and resources that members can return to in their own time.
There are a few ways to participate:
Drop into a LIVE Tuesday Session via Zoom.
Or, subscribe to the Learning Library and work through the weekly material asynchronously.
You can also combine LIVE group and self-directed learning for the full Tuesday Session experience.
Whether you join us every week or dip in when a topic catches your attention, there’s a place for you in the community. Email: tanika@hatuakali-storytelling.org for membership access and LIVE call links.
