Narrative Prose R&C

Narrative Prose Read & Critique
this workshop has been cancelled

Read and critique is a way—possibly the only way—for writers to hear how their writing sounds to others. This is how we discover whether the piece we so painstakingly and painfully created and re-created, actually works. Nothing serves writers better than a supportive and trusted group to ask the questions we didn’t know to ask and help us see problems we may sense, but can’t identify. Because we can never hear our stories for the first time, we rely on the response of others to tell us where we’ve found our groove, and where we’ve lost our way. Response from the group can also help us regain perspective, which can so easily be lost when we write from our own lives.

In this once-a-month workshop participants will bring five- to eight-pages of narrative prose including personal narrative, memoir, creative nonfiction or fiction, which they will read aloud for review. Each four-hour session will allow time for thoughtful critique of up to eight members’ work. Participants should have some experience in read and critique.
