Latest Books
Example Presentations and Workshops
- How Books are Made: The evolution of a book (in particular, mine) from original idea, through criticism and revision, and the publishing process.
- How Many Places Can A Story Go?: A writing workshop in which we start with the first paragraph of Mistwood and discuss the questions it raises and the difference directions the story could go. Students would be encouraged to think about what questions in that paragraph they most want to have answered, and then to write a story that answers it.
- How Revision Works: We focus on a section or two of Mistwood that changed several times through the revision process, and discuss how the original weaknesses were addressed. If there is time and interest, students can put up their own writing for discussion and revision.
Honorarium and Fees
Honorariums begin at $200; they may be extra if more than one presentation is given, or if travel is required.
