This class will provide valuable tools with which to create.
Writing is a craft.
It requires practice, exploration, creativity and apprenticeship. Every writer, from the novice keeping secret, personal journals, to the well-known, published author, needs to continually sharpen the tools of the craft. Daily class sessions will include discussion, workshopping of individual manuscripts, teaching, and examination of writing in children s literature. There will also be discussion of the writing life and journey, as well as practical topics, such as use of agents and how to reach short story and educational markets. These samples will help Julia meet the individual needs and goals of each writer, and, with permission, may be used for group workshop.
