Peliplat Workshop: Manifesting Story
11/03/2025-11/05/2025
Description
Your Story Deserves to be Written
If you’ve ever felt the pull to tell a story but weren’t sure how to begin, the Manifesting Story workshop will help you bring your ideas to life.
Peliplat is thrilled to present a six-week short story workshop that's open to absolutely anyone; whether you're already deep in the drafts or just feel like you have something to say. We've enlisted highly respected writer, story editor, and instructor Rodger Cove to facilitate this hands-on dive into the art of short fiction. You’ll go from that first spark of an idea to a fully formed piece through a mix of writing prompts, feedback, and collaborative workshopping.
By the end of the workshop, you won't just finish a short story—you'll publish it on Peliplat, earn a Certificate of Completion, and walk away knowing your words are out in the world, connecting with the readers who needed to hear them.
The number of seats is limited, and that's on purpose. Only ten participants can join this round of Manifesting Story, so everyone will receive focused, one-on-one guidance from Rodger and collaborative feedback from the Peliplat community.
Sessions will run weekly on Wednesdays, 7–9 PM PST (Nov 5–Dec 10) via Zoom.
When you register for the workshop, you will automatically be welcomed into the Peliplat community: a space full of writers, readers, and creative minds who get it.
Think you might have a story in you? There’s only one way to find out.
Join us and start manifesting your story.

Course Syllabus
This course will run in true workshop form, meaning you'll share your work, get feedback tailored to your story, and learn by writing. Each week, you will dig into key elements of storytelling like character, story mechanics, plot construction, and voice, adjusting the focus to match the experience and goals of the writer. The aim is to avoid dogmatic storytelling and instead discover and refine your voice and help you tell the story you want to tell.
All student work is required to be posted on peliplat.com, where our community of writers and readers can offer feedback, encouragement, and fresh perspectives.

Code of Conduct
By entering into this workshop space, all writers commit to sharing their work in an open and respectful dialogue with the instructor and the other students. Writers come from all different walks of life, and the characters they create may hold repugnant views for the purpose of the story. This workshop is committed to providing an open dialogue about each story brought into the classroom. However, at the discretion of the instructor, if a story or writer is deemed to be acting in bad faith by presenting work that reinforces views of hatred towards any group, the writer will be asked to leave the workshop and no refund will be provided.
All writers commit to hearing feedback from their classmates and the instructor. While there is no requirement for any writer to take the notes suggested, it is expected that they will at least listen to what others in the class have to say. Likewise, all writers commit to providing detailed and thoughtful feedback to the other stories in the class.
Let's talk about movies!
