With our live EFGO storytelling shows and podcast resuming in 2022, there is no better time to hone your unique family story.
“Rarely is there an opportunity in which a writer can read their work in a supportive environment and receive a brilliant compassionate critique which moves their writing to the next level. That’s what EFGO offers; a place to showcase our writing, hear knowledgeable, invaluable feedback, take those lessons with us, and work on our future bestsellers.”
