Explore Writing with Two Published Maritime Authors!
|
A weekend writing workshop for people who are interested in writing for children and want to know how to bring that finished work to an audience in some form of publication or forum. We will explore poetry and prose, picture book, chapter book, novel, folk tales and fables, fairy tales, plays and the educational market. Guided writing exercises will focus on word play, how to free the imagination and get in touch with our “kindercentric” nature.
Leadership:
Sheree Fitch has been teaching her w.i.s.e. words writing workshops for over twenty years, with writers of all ages and all stages of their writing practice. Her most recent work is an adult novel, Kiss The Joy As It Flies.
