You are the main character in your own life. But are you Carmen Sandiego, Issa Rae, Carrie Bradshaw, or Agent 007? What about Catwoman, Sheldon, or Kimmie Schmidt?

You have seemingly endless choices about who you want to be in the world. Because you are your own character, this is a unique opportunity to move your plot forward. Would you like to engineer a meet-cute? Expand your character arc? Or just get out of the stressful setting many of us have been in for years? 

This event uses the tools of story to enhance your own plotline--and utilizes your unique experience of you, as character, to see your writing in a new way. 

We are delighted to present Thalia Elie, who is not only an author, but a speaker, ordained minister, and all-around wonderful presence. Thalia is an expert at improving energy, and collective good vibes. In fact, we thought of her when we saw everyone reaching what felt like peak stress--and knew she could make you feel better.

Thalia is funny, warm, and insightful, and we can't wait for you to meet her.

The event is 100% introvert-friendly (wear pajamas and eat snacks the whole time! We'll never know), cameras off, text chat only for attendees. You can participate as much as you like, or sit back and watch what your fellow creatives come up with. Can't make it live? The replay will be available at the same link.

Many of you know and love Thalia from her appearance on our You Don't Have To be Perfect To Get Published episode (learn more here: https://manuscriptacademy.com/you-dont-have-to-be-perfect-to-get-published).

Thalia's just as funny, warm, and insightful in person, and we can't wait for you to meet her.
