The next workshop will be Dialogue and Setting (with a little module on Research). You asked for a slower pace and more time for exercises. We listened!!
Sign up online at VillageWritingSchool.com to be sure to reserve your seat on the date you prefer. February 1 or February 15.
FEATURE WRITING COMING SOON
Rebecca Mahoney will launch our feature writing project with her workshop on February 6 from 3-5 pm. Features are popular and publishable. Learn this important skill from a master, whose features have been published in the L.A. Times, the Boston Globe, the Orlando Sentinel, and AP online. Only $20.
THEN, write a feature on a business of your choice and get guidance on submitting it to five publications.
Time to Decompress!!
This week's Writers' Night Out will be a MOVIE NIGHT!! We will be showing Midnight in Paris, a movie about a modern, struggling writer who dreams of living in 1920s Paris with Hemingway et al.
Our Village Writing School with its modular tables and 70" screen is perfect for programs like last Thursday night when Linda Hebert introduced us to Scrivener, a writing software that is going to be useful to many of us.
Afterward, our visitors from Iowa provided a little levity (see photo on left). Twenty-one people attended, making our seminar room full to capacity.
