Julia provides in-person workshops on Vancouver Island and in BC’s Lower Mainland. She has a B.A. in Child and Youth Care and has been facilitating workshops and classes with children, teens, and adults since 2002. As a teacher, she champions the principles of play, wonder, discovery, and imagination, and she uses those same principles in her workshops: playing with character, wondering about plot, discovering secrets, and imagining possibilities.

Show and Tell:

Using narrative techniques to bring your story to life

Creating a story is one thing, but telling it effectively is another. We’ll explore how narrative techniques like voice, point of view, description, and dialogue can revolutionize the way a story is told.
