Workshop Overview:
Many aspiring writers are stuck at the beginning: a thousand ideas, but not a single finished manuscript. This workshop is designed to break that cycle.

Facilitated by teen author Aradan Yazbek, participants will move from concept to completion. Through storytelling fundamentals, creative prompts, and guided writing sessions, you will leave with a finished story in hand—proof that your projects are within reach.

“Beautiful beginnings are common, but finished stories are rare.”

Workshop Format
Lecture: 15 min
Writing Session I: 30 min
Break: 15 min
Writing Session II: 30 min
Live Feedback: 30 min
(Optional Q&A to follow)

About the Facilitator
Aradan Yazbek is a teenage writer with three novels, over twenty short stories, and several poems to his name. A StoryCon finalist previously published by ZamaShorts and Aerial Publishing, Aradan is dedicated to sharing stories that entertain, challenge, and inspire.
