A Writing Workshop
ALL LEVELS
Whether you're writing a memoir about life in Antarctica, or an extended essay on money laundering, you can likely use a few tips on focus, structure, and handling narrative time. This is your virtual invitation to my studio to spend an evening identifying and practicing some techniques for refreshing and enlivening your nonfiction work. I can't think of a nicer way to inaugurate mud season.
+ PLEASE NOTE This workshop will occur online via Zoom. Students do not need to create an account to participate, but should test out Zoom before their class if they are first-time users. On Thursday, April 13th, from 5:30pm to 6:00pm, MWPA staff will offer a tech help session on Zoom. Students are encouraged to attend the tech help session, which usually takes only 5-10 minutes, if they have any tech concerns, use Zoom infrequently, or simply would like to test their connection, and those who do not are responsible for ensuring that they are able to use Zoom on their own. The week of the workshop, students will be emailed a link that they may click to enter the test session and the class.
+ REQUIRED EQUIPMENT A reliable, fast internet connection (broadband wired or wireless (3G or 4G/LTE), speakers & a microphone (built-in or USB plug-in), and a webcam (built-in or USB plug-in).
