Instructor: Christina Clancy
Monday - Thursday
June 22 - 25
9am - 12pm
4 sessions, at Edgewood Farm

In this interactive hybrid writing workshop, we'll divide our time between tailoring our works in progress with group feedback, and tinkering, completing exercises meant to open up your narrative, develop characters, and dig deeper into what's already on the page. Exercises will focus on key elements of your manuscript: character, place, tone, tempo, and plot. 

The goal is to generate unexpected new material that takes your work in new directions, and finish the week with constructive feedback on what you've already written. We'll also talk more broadly about craft, publishing, and the joys and challenges of the writing life. 

Participants should plan to share between 5-10 pages of their work-in-progress. This workshop is appropriate for both fiction and non-fiction.
