Good Writing in Hard Times

with Karen Karbo

 
Award-winning author Karen Karbo will offer a nuts-and-bolts workshop focusing on getting that memoir/novel/collection written and out into the world.  Every writer yearns to know to begin a piece of writing, how keep going until the end, and how to get to the good stuff.  This is as true for the beginner as it is for Toni Morrison.  We'll focus on developing productive writing habits, maintaining focus in the age of Twitter, and how to put one foot in front of the other when you'd rather curl up with your TiVo.  Bring your work-in-progress, or start something new.
 
June 23 - August 11
Eight Tuesdays, 7-10 PM
Plus full-time membership to Writers' Dojo for the duration of the class
cost: $265
(This special offer expires at 3:00 PM on Friday, June 19th)
