About this event

Workshops

A free Lake Superior Writers course by author Gina Ramsey Regional authorpreneur and podcaster Gina Ramsey knows a funny story when she sees one… or when it smacks her world and leaves her both groaning and taking down notes for a future funny tale. Gina has published three anthologies under her “Burnt Gloveboxes”® series – and yes, the glovebox started on fire – highlighting how when things go bad, they often go funny, too. Gina will teach how to build your comedic story from the ground up. Learn the building blocks of scene, conflict, and backstory, then explore the deeper meaning behind your moments – the “golden nugget.” Through fast-flow writing, guided prompts, and story-crafting techniques, you’ll uncover the heart beneath the humor and walk away with a stronger, richer, more resonant story. This Lake Superior Writers-sponsored course is done in partnership with the Grand Marais Art Colony and thanks to operating support, made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council and thanks to legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage funds.
