SUMMARY:The Graveyard Shift: A Horror Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to everyone fond of the horror genre\, whether they have written about it before or this is their first time. Attendees are welcome to bring pre-existing work\, whether it be poetry or fiction\, but prompts will also be provided for first timers. Make sure to bring pen/pencils\, notebooks\, laptops\, or whatever you can write with! Presented by Lizzie Van Bakel. \nIf you would like to attend this event\, please register here.  \nPlease note: This is hosted at UNBC Room 5-140E (learning commons) 3333 University Way \nAbout Lizzie: \nI have been writing since I was in grade 12 but did not start writing horror until I took a creative writing class at CNC. Horror has always been a genre that interested me and once I started writing in the genre\, I never wanted to leave. I recently received news that three of my poems will be published in a dark horror poetry anthology called Beautiful Tragedies 5\, published by Hellbound Books. I hope to create a horror writing community and create a space where we can share some scary stories all year around. I’m very excited about this and can’t wait to meet some more writers.
