🖋️ Writer's Workshop 🖋️
Arabic Book A Month is excited to present a virtual Writer's Workshop this December 2024 for our USA based audience. If you've had a dream to become an author, or need help writing your new book, then this workshop is for you.
The workshop will consist of three parts, including: a guided presentation on how to write your best book, virtual group meetings between attendees for sharing feedback, and last a one-to-one with a book coach to work through any snags in your story.
Language of instruction is English, but Arabic texts are also welcome.
