Over wine and light appetizers, step into the creative world of Mark Mustian—novelist, community leader, and President of Tallahassee’s acclaimed Word of South Festival of Literature and Music. During the first of two candid workshops, Mark shares his own writing journey—from the initial spark of an idea to the transformation of words into complete stories. Discover his inspirations, challenges, and successes, and enjoy his thoughtful reflections on the art of writing. This workshop isn’t solely for writers—anyone who values storytelling will enjoy firsthand Mark’s unique, insightful writing experiences. The event is free and open to the public.
