For anyone who might be interested, I’m giving a talk
at the Beachwood Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library this next Saturday—January
26th, at 2:00 PM. I’ll be
doing the same thing at the Fairview Branch on Thursday, January 31, at 7:00 PM. They’d love for you to register, but you
could just show up, too. Here’s the description,
and the link.
How to Start a Writing
Group
Type of Event: Classes
Date: Saturday, January 26,
2013 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
And keep it going
smoothly! Sarah Willis, founder of The East Side Writers -- in existence
for 22 years -- will share her advice on starting and running a successful
writing workshop. You will learn how to bring together peers to discuss
and improve your fiction, nonfiction, poetry or memoirs. We will cover how to
critique helpfully, listen to feedback, and use suggestions, along with the
nitty-gritty of how to find your peers, and when and where to meet. This
class will be helpful even if you are already in a writers' group.
Instructor Sarah
Willis has published four novels. Her first, Some Things
That Stay, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, won a Cleveland Arts
Prize in Literature in 2000, and was made into a movie in 2004.
