SUMMER OPPORTUNITY--Fiction Workshop

Summer is the time to let the imagination run wild! Put your 9-12 grader's imagination to good use by participating in my summer fiction workshop. We will read a selection of great short stories to get a feel for the genre and each student will write 2 pieces of fiction and have them workshopped by the group.

Fiction workshops can positively impact your student's writing. Being part of a workshop puts them in touch with a real, live audience for their work and heightens their awareness of readers' expectations. Fiction workshops also emphasize details and precision, both important for writing of any kind.

In addition, fiction workshops train students to give and receive constructive criticism in a positive manner. They encourage open, honest discussion and often create deep, lasting bonds among participants.

Fiction workshops are a time of fun, fellowship and learning, and no previous fiction writing experience is necessary!

8 90 minute sessions in June and July. Cost: $400 + short story anthology.

The workshop is limited to 15 participants, so reserve a spot for your student now! Deadline: May 9th.

Location and dates to be determined based on number of participants.

To reserve your student's spot or learn more, email me at writersgroove@aol.com.
