New Workshops Announced

Published by dwsmith at 9:21 pm under On Writing

Notice there is now a workshop page on this site. I have put a basic schedule of the next year of the professional level workshops Kris and I and others teach here on the Oregon Coast. There are no plans to go beyond the year. So about a year from now, that page might just vanish.
Our goal, when we started these back in 1999 and then fired them back up again in 2002, was to help writers working at a professional level, starting to sell, or stuck in a bad career. We figured everyone helped new writers, and when we went through this early professional stage, we had a few top professionals help us along. So since we have both been freelancing for a long time, it was our turn to help.

We tend to stop and start them, teach for a year or so, then not teach for a few years. We make no money at these and they are very tiring to do. But they are worth it, for the knowledge we learn and the great friends we make and the feeling of helping great new professionals jump forward.

So, at the moment, the workshops are back and I have put the schedule of them up under workshops. Any questions, just e-mail me and put writers workshops in the subject line so my spam filter doesn’t eat it.

Cheers,

Dean
