Split Rock Workshop with Valerie Miner
The Working Muse: Invention and Revision in Prose
For writers who want to come closer to finding their own voices while developing skills that will carry those voices into the larger world. Participants in this interactive workshop will focus on creating new work, so we’ll begin by considering the challenges of invention. We’ll also discuss the value of revision, and practice revising some of the work we create during the week. We will examine such craft issues as evocative setting, dialogue, point of view, narrative shape and will spend time each day discussing published work. We’ll have lectures, exercises, critiques of participants’ developing work and time to write. The workshop welcomes writers from a range of backgrounds who are writing in various forms and styles. The goal is for participants to leave with fresh approaches to ongoing projects and with the seeds for new work.
