Story Workout
Tuesday MORNINGS, beginning June 22, 2010
Join this “Workout” class that combines in-class writing exercises, take home writing assignments and discussion of our work. It will be a fun, invigorating way to open your imagination and get stronger on story craft. A wonderful way to keep your writing muscle nice and loose.
You’ll leave each class with a couple “story starts” or scenes, and a better sense of direction for projects that you have in progress. Plus you’ll have the opportunity to receive instructor feedback on exercise drafts.
Come work out your writing muscle!
StoryStudio classes are typically limited to 15 participants or fewer. This intimate setting allows for greater interaction and personal attention.
Who Should Attend: This course is for writers of all levels, especially those who want to try their hand at storytelling or those who feel stalled in their writing. Even creative non-fiction writers will benefit.
About the Instructor: Jill Pollack is a Chicago-based writer and editor whose work has appeared in newspapers, magazines, trade periodicals, and political journals.
