Rewriting the Myths: A Workshop with Award Winning Author Bea Fitzgerald

Rewriting the Myths: Successful Storycraft and Modern Resonance - In-Person Workshop with Bea Fitzgerald

From sweeping myth retellings to boldly reimagined classics, stories that breathe new life into ancient narratives continue to captivate readers, critics, and prize committees alike. Yet successful retellings do far more than echo their sources—they transform them, asking urgent new questions of old stories.

In this immersive, full-day workshop, bestselling myth-retelling author Bea Fitzgerald guides participants through the craft of reworking familiar myths and archetypes for contemporary audiences. Through discussion and hands-on exercises, we’ll explore how to build compelling worlds and magic systems, deepen timeless themes, and make deliberate choices around voice, perspective, and narrative stakes. Participants will also consider how to position their retellings within today’s literary landscape—honouring the past while speaking unmistakably to the present.

Whether you’re subtly drawing from an existing canon or radically rewriting a myth from the ground up, this workshop offers practical tools and creative frameworks to help your story feel both ancient and entirely new.
