24PearlStreet Workshops and Events
Are you ready for “a short, intensive, and rigorous course of training”? That’s what boot camp is all about. Our week together will be devoted to creating and workshopping new material using approaches that may be a bit different than what you may have tried before. Class discussions will touch on persona, self-implication, ethics, formal matters, voice and prose style, the roles of imagination and research, the business of writing, and any other questions you have. There is a fair amount of reading and writing outside the two-hour class sessions.
LIVE TIME: 10am-12pm EST.
