A Week at the Wigtown School of Writing in Scotland

I spent a week this April at the Wigtown School of Writing in Wigtown, Scotland, attending a writer’s workshop that focused on world-building and the art of effective storytelling. This was a wonderful experience that allowed me to fully immerse myself in the world of writing, and to explore all of the amazing bookstores that Wigtown has to offer. I feel so lucky to have been a part of this workshop. I cannot wait for the next time that I can return to Wigtown! I edited a video of my visit so that I can remember all of the fun—the link can be found here!
