Common Inquiries
Is this suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. While we dive deep into professional techniques, the workshop is designed to be accessible to anyone with a story to tell, regardless of their previous experience.
Do I need to bring a finished manuscript?
No. You can come with a fully formed idea, a rough draft, or just a blank notebook. We focus on the building blocks that apply to any stage of the process.
What is the maximum group size?
We limit the workshop to 12 participants to ensure that Elena can provide personalized feedback and maintain an intimate, collaborative atmosphere.
Will my work be critiqued in front of others?
We foster a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Sharing is encouraged but never mandatory, and feedback is always constructive and craft-focused.
