Some people think a dragon is just a creature who breathes fire and hoards treasure. But in the hands of a skilled storyteller? That dragon becomes a metaphor for greed, power, trauma—or your ex. (I’m not judging.)

In this workshop, Rebecca Dolence will explore the space between myth and meaning in fiction, helping writers use legendary creatures not just as spooky set dressing, but as powerful symbols that deepen character, theme, and plot.

Whether you're writing fantasy, horror, historical fiction, or even a darkly whimsical romance—this class is your gateway to writing stories that bite a little deeper.

Because mythology is the oldest form of storytelling. By learning to tap into those ancient patterns and symbols, you’ll craft fiction that feels timeless, resonant, and uncannily powerful. Readers won’t always know why your story hit them so hard, but they’ll feel it.
