2025 Fishtrap Yearlong Workshop

A Walk in the Woods: Mapping New Territory and Exploring the Terrain of Your Book-Length Story with Karen Auvinen

Thrilled to Announce this yearlong book project at Fishtrap. We’ll work in groups and one-on-on to craft and finish your book-length Story.

“A journey of a thousand miles is begins with a single step”  —Laozi

Just as a walk in the forest reveals hidden paths and surprising discoveries, this Yearlong workshop invites you to uncover the path of your own story by learning to trust your intuition and the act of putting one foot in front of the other.
