Are you having trouble overcoming the daunting fear of writing a book? Do you secretly want to not be a secret writer? The MikeyOpp Academy will help you!
We offer a Writers Workshop with 15 seats every Saturday.
Our sessions run from 9:00am-12:25pm on Saturdays. All attendees are entered into a lottery when the session begins. Winners get to share their work for 21 minutes each, while the remaining attendees stay to critique.
First-time attendees can join for free!
