Upcoming May 2012 Creative Writing Workshop
Join a new session of an ongoing creative writing workshop ....
Through a series of writing prompts, we’ll explore various components of narrative prose - exposition, dialogue, point-of-view, style, etc. Each week participants write a short, assigned piece which we’ll read and discuss in class. These exercises are designed to spark the imagination and hone the craft of writing, and are suitable to writers of fiction and memoir, beginning writers or those further along.
There will also be opportunities for participants to bring their own completed fiction or nonfiction into class.
The workshop in general is conceived as a supportive, illuminating, entertaining and provocative environment in which to develop narrative skills and ideas. Our discussion of writing also includes examples from great classic and contemporary writers.
The instructor, Roxanne Snider, is a published writer with an MFA in creative writing, who has taught at the University of Toronto’s Continuing Education, Her teachers include Barbara Gowdy, Amy Hempel and Sven Birkerts.
Time and Dates: 7-9 pm, eight Thursdays, May 10 to June 28, 2012
Location: Bloor St. United Church, Bloor & Spadina
Cost: $275.
