And for those of you who are unsure about committing to a six-week course, they also offer Write-O-Rama, a day of one-hour workshops that is guaranteed to set your creative juices flowing (with the help of a little coffee, naturally - this is Seattle, after all).
Write-O-Rama will be taking place again on December 3, 2011, and this time I'll be there leading a workshop on writing reviews and "becoming part of the cultural conversation". As with all Write-O-Rama workshops my slot lasts one hour, comprising a discussion of two reviews and the lessons they offer us, followed by around 40 minutes of putting your writing skills to the test.
Here's the official blurb for my contribution to Write-O-Rama 2011:
Everyone’s a Critic: Writing Critical Reviews with Dan Coxon 2:00pm and 3:00pm.
The best book, music, movie and theater reviews become part of our ongoing cultural conversation, but writing them is an art form like any other. In this workshop we’ll discuss two examples of book and music reviews and how they go beyond simply providing an opinion. You will then write a review of your own.
If you decide to join us at Write-O-Rama, please come to my workshop, or come say hi when you pass me in the corridors of Hugo House!
Write-O-Rama takes place at Richard Hugo House, Seattle, on Saturday December 3, 2011, between 10:00am and 6:00pm. The following levels of registration can be purchased via the links below:
