WRITING WORKSHOP: Writing History - Yours and Others'
How do writers present vibrant history on the page? How do they make the details of their characters’ worlds resonate with contemporary readers? How does 'then' connect to 'now'? Join me at the John C. Campbell Folk School this fall for generative writing exercises, discussion, and analysis of excerpted work, and examining the craft of bringing history to life. Workshop your writing, explore innovative approaches to research, and generate new material from focused prompts. Writers of historical fiction, memoir, and biography at any level are welcome.
Sensory Writing Workshop Online with The Carnegie Center
A character comes to life on the page through well-crafted sensory detail. In this two hour prompt-driven workshop, we will explore how writing about sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell add dimension to your fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. This online workshop is open to writers of all levels, in all genres. Participants will learn to explore the exceptional detail in commonplace moments, develop insight into crafting memorable characters and situations, and enrich the crafted world on the page.
