Mastering Writing for Adults
Getting To the Heart of Our Story
How do we find the stories in
our lives? How do we discover meaning in those stories? And what are some good
strategies to write about them?
This is the subject of a
unique all-day writing workshop sure to inspire and instruct. Open to committed
writers of all genres and experience levels.
This workshop will be led by
Susan G. Weidener, an editor and author of Again in a Heartbeat, a memoir of love, loss and dating again, and Cynthia J. McGroarty, an English instructor at DeVry University and a
fiction writer and editor.
What to expect:
· Instruction
and writing exercises that build on finding the meaning in our stories.
· Thoughts
on how to take a memory and turn it into a story.
· Tips
and techniques for bringing readers into the story.
· Ways
to trim the fat and get to the meat of the story.
