Join us for an in-store writing workshop this summer led by Upstate author Rick Mulkey! Samuel Johnson wrote, “Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.” Therefore, it is natural for us to write about ourselves or those we know. We will look at strategies and writing prompts meant to help you think about your subject in new, perhaps even unexpected ways, and to present your characters through perspectives that will engage your reader.
The workshop is open to all and the strategies presented will be addressed to beginning to intermediate level writers.
Rick Mulkey is the director of Creative Writing at Converse University and author of six books. He has conducted writing workshops at universities, arts organizations, and public spaces in the U.S. and Europe. The workshop is free.
Wednesday, July 16 at 6 p.m.
This event is FREE and open to the public - just bring pen and paper! Seating is limited to only 18. Please reserve your seat by clicking the "add to cart" button on the page. We will update this page with a running tally of how many seats are left.
