Tiffin Inn Writing Workshop (with Imposter Syndrome & Unlimited Refills)
Become a better fiction writer! Join Tim Goodwin (fiction author, professional photographer, Equity actor, improv master, stage manager) and Arthur Franz IV (board game designer, Learning & Development Manager, Master of Fine Arts, & published short story writer) in the corner booth as they share stories of success and...less-than-success in their writing careers. Tim and Art offer practical advice to accelerate your progress, interviews with emerging and established writers to explore the process of their craft, and "Refill" episodes (about 5 minutes each) to package these lessons learned into easy to consume refreshers. Conversations are casual but deeply focused on making everyone better at writing fiction. Learn. Get inspired. But most importantly, write.
