Facilitator: Amal Chatterjee This 8-week program is for people who really believe they have a book in them, and want to work it out. It will explore techniques of story telling, character, scene, and plot development in an interactive and stimulating environment. You should be ready to present your own work and be involved in constructive criticism. Note that to benefit from the course, you should have begun writing the novel and be in a position to share your work with others. |

| Creative Writing Facilitator: Matthew Curlewis This 8-week workshop focuses on how to establish and/or maintain a writing practice that generates material. As it mostly involves “doing it”, putting pen to paper each session, the workshop is equally useful for advanced writers with works-in-progress as well as beginning writers. Through writing exercises of varying lengths, participants will create new material each session, then share their work with the group (if so inclined) for brief comments and support. Thus, a body of work will be developed over the whole period. Time will be allocated for manuscript reviews, which explore different methodologies for shaping and refining existing work. This combination of writing and rewriting for all participants will lay the foundation for a reliable, ongoing writing practice. |
