Mining the Mother Lode - Making the
Most of Your Material
One of the great lessons we learn as writers is that we almost always write about the same things over and over. Characters, places, and plots may appear different, but we are driven by the same passions, questions, and obsessions - the same vein of ore. Use exercises and assignments to dig deep into personal experiences, curiosities, and knowledge to strengthen your writing. This class is beneficial to beginning and experienced writers of poetry, nonfiction, and fiction. To register for this class, please call 1-800-365-5724. |

April 23 - Catherine Carter
Description:
Bracket and Hinge: Strengthening Poems’ Sonic Level. In this 2-hour lecture/workshop, Catherine Carter will use contemporary poems to discuss a few of the ways in which a poem can be built around the sounds of single words, model one possible process for revising a poem in this way, and encourage participants to do this with their own works. Participants should bring hard copy of one or two of their own short poems to work on. June 25 - Patricia Zick
Patricia Zick's workshop, "The Road to Publishing" will explore the different choices for publishing a book. Then she will delve into the step-by-step process for
self-publishing a work of nonfiction or fiction using Amazon’s publishing
platform. Ms. Zick, the author of twenty-five published books in a variety of
genres, will demonstrate how to prepare a manuscript, provide definitions for
publishing jargon, and walk through the process for uploading a book for both
Kindle and paperback publication to the online retail site.
