| Description: | WRITERS WORKSHOPS IN FICTION, NARRATIVE NONFICTION & MEMOIR: These workshops assist serious writers by exploring the art and craft as well as the business of writing. The week offers daily morning workshops, craft lectures, panel discussions on editing and publishing, staff readings, as well as brief individual conferences. The morning workshops are led by staff writer-teachers, editors, or agents. There are separate morning workshops for Fiction and Narrative Nonfiction/Memoir. In addition to their workshop manuscript, participants may have a second manuscript read by a staff member who meets with them in an individual conference. POETRY WORKSHOP: The Poetry Program is founded on the belief that when poets gather in a community to write new poems, each poet may well break through old habits and write something stronger and truer than before. To help this happen we work together to create an atmosphere in which everyone might feel free to try anything. In the mornings we meet in workshops to read to each other the work of the previous twenty-four hours; each participant also has an opportunity to work with each staff poet. In the late afternoons we gather for a conversation about some aspect of craft. On several late afternoons staff poets hold brief individual conferences. SCREENWRITING: The Screenwriting Program is an intensive week-long program that focuses on individual attention and work-in-progress by award-winning writers and writer/directors. You will learn to crystallize the story and excise extraneous elements. Film clips, lectures, and writing exercises are incorporated into daily workshops emphasizing all aspects of craft including narrative point of view, character analysis, and scene structure. Designed for both screenwriters and filmmakers, this unique program invites both narrative features and character-driven documentaries. Our goal is to assist writers to improve their craft and thus move them closer to production. Please see our Notable Alumni Website: http://www.squawvalleywriters.ogr/NotableAlumni.html |
