Writing By Writers GET THE LEAD OUT! is an online generative workshop that brings all levels of writers together for a weekend of inspiration, craft and the generation of new work.
When: January 17 - 19, 2025 online over Zoom.
Tuition: $750 includes one three-day workshop, admittance to all craft talks and readings.
Format: Workshops will begin in the afternoon of Friday, January 17, 2025, at 1:00pm Pacific and end on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 4:30pm Pacific. Each day will feature a craft talk by one of our faculty members and participants will split into small groups where they will dissect the art and craft of writing through lectures, writing exercises and class discussions. We won’t be reading and critiquing manuscripts, but rather closely examining elements of craft with the intention of allowing participants to see their work with deeper insight while also generating new material. Each participant will have the opportunity to work in a small group setting with all three faculty members. Whether you are just getting started or have projects that need new life, this workshop will offer inspiration and insight to take you to the next level.
Faculty: Pam Houston and two more faculty coming soon!
