Writing at John C. Campbell Folk School

Be sure to check out the line up of writing classes at the John C. Campbell Folk School this summer.
Vicki Hunt is teaching in July. I have taken a week long class with Vickie and I know she is a good instructor. Visit the website: www.folkschool.org and look for writing classes. Many good writers will teach there this year.

Writing Life Stories Date: Sunday, July 1 - Friday, July 6, 2018 Subject: Writing Instructor: Vickie Hunt Make headway creating short stories, essays, or memoir chapters from events in your life. Focus on writing strong openings, creating scenes, establishing setting and characters, building momentum, shaping syntax, and coming to a graceful ending. Create and revise several short pieces and attempt a draft of a longer piece. Examine the subtle differences in creative nonfiction, autobiographical fiction, and personal essay. All levels welcome.

She has also taught at the Folk School since 1999.
