Ready to take the next bold step on your writer’s journey?
Hello, I’m Karien Polley. My workshops will help you move from inspiration to actually producing the stories you want to share.
Being inspired is one thing, but it takes dedication to turn an idea into something people want to listen to. A story needs to matter. It has to be dramatic and keep people interested.
Join me for a practical exploration around the medium of radio and podcast storytelling. I have lots to share with you that will help you take the next step in your writing journey.
