Write Your Story: I am a Camera - Noticing Like a Writer Workshop with Denise Michelle Harris October 20, 2009

Denise Michelle Harris, author of the bestselling novel Sweet Bye-Bye, continues her free writer’s workshop series. A writer’s greatest strength can be described as the ability to notice things. Denise will lead workshop participants in exercises from The Making of a Story: A Norton Guide to Creative Writing by Alice LaPlante, aimed at helping you to turn your “camera” on. This workshop will be based on Chapter 1: What is this Thing Called Creative Writing? Denise will review practical tips on how to develop your skill to notice. Workshop participants can complete the exercises before class, and, time permitting, will have the opportunity to share excerpts from their writing with other workshop participants. Bring your questions and get your creative juices going. Advance registration required - call 510-881-7980 to sign up. For more information, or to obtain the writing exercises, contact [email protected], 510-881-7700.
