Weekday Workshop Bonus Sessions

We're offering afternoon bonus sessions for all of our Weekday Workshop attendees this year! Spend another hour with your writing and get to know our other workshop instructors on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. These workshops are free for weekday workshop ticket holders to attend and will be held at the Writespace Studio at Silver Street (Studio #208)

Bonus Session Schedule

Word Alchemy Lab
Date: Monday, May 27th, 1:30 - 2:30
Presenter: Tex Thompson

Your book has a stellar premise, unforgettable characters, and mind-blowing plot turns--but somehow the words on the page aren't fully conveying the vision in your head. Never fear! In this workshop, we'll study the alchemical art of transforming each page, paragraph, and sentence from prosaic lead into literary gold.

Now and Then: Using Voice and POV to Explore the Present and the Past
Date: Tuesday, May 28th, 1:30 - 2:30
Presenters: Donna Johnson & Kirk Wilson

Can we change the past from the present?  This workshop will examine two techniques common in both memoir and fiction--the reflective voice and the dual timeline--in order to see how simple adjustments in voice and point of view can transform our readers’ visions of past events.

Finding the Magic: How to Blend Realism with the Fantastic
Wednesday, May 29th 1:30 - 2:30 
Presenter: Kathryn Kulpa

Finding yourself bored by the ordinary world? Consider bringing in elements of fantasy or magical realism into your fiction. This workshop will guide you through the process of bridging genres with a series of mind- and world-opening generative exercises.
