Write What You Don’t Know

Writer Mark Stevens teaches you to explore what it takes to write in-depth and convincingly outside of your comfort zone.

Instructor: Mark Stevens

Freeing yourself from the limits of Write What You Know is liberating. Adopting the mantra, Write What You Don’t Know, opens up a new array of possibilities for the plots you’re developing—and the characters who inhabit them. There are steps you can take to give you confidence as you step into the void. In this workshop, Mark will explore what it takes to write in-depth and convincingly outside of your comfort zone. In fact, tackling strange new worlds might heighten everything about your story, from character to setting and plot.

Mark Stevens has published three Colorado-based mysteries, Antler Dust (2007), Buried by the Roan (2011) and Trapline (2014). Buried by the Roan was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award in 2012.
