This event is designed by members of the Nashville AAPI Writers Group, which began as a casual gathering in October 2022. In this special one-day workshop moderated by Porch instructor Yurina Yoshikawa, AAPI screenwriter JR Robles will lead a short writing exercise and provide constructive feedback. Reserved for Nashville writers who identify as AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander), but beyond that, all levels of screenwriters are welcome from beginners to professionals.
