10/10/09: Collect. Recollect. CONNECT! Intensive Seminar & Critiques

Register early for the Intensive Seminar for a 15% discount.

As featured on ABC 7's "Chicagoing" with Bill Campbell

Speakers Michelle Duster, Jen Cullerton Johnson, Cynthea Liu, and Trina Sotira break down the ins-and-outs of writing for a particular genre from fiction to nonfiction, children’s books to adult work.

The seminar will be divided into three parts, using hands-on activities designed to help you learn how to use personal, family, and even someone else’s history to create impactful writing.

Part 1) How to evaluate your idea for a particular work.

Part 2) How to approach the work given the concept.

Part 3) How to evaluate and tackle the writing.

You are encouraged to bring a one-paragraph description of your idea and/or a writing sample from the work you’d like to address.

There will be ample opportunity to share your ideas and thoughts about your work with others, including the speakers.

Optional written manuscripts critiques are available from our speakers for our nominal fee. To register for a critique from a speaker, register for both the event and the critique and submit your manuscript prior to September 24, 2009. The results of your critique will be delivered at the seminar.
