Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will complete my book, From This Day Forward: Marriage and Miscarriage. I will have an open studio to share my work. A successful event will be evaluated with input from the participants. Because the main subject of my book is about miscarriage, part of the open studio will be a discussion about the topic of miscarriage.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes, but showing the work was online. I feel this was a good way to show the work.
