My two workshops are Interviewing 101 and Rx Manuscript Critique:
Interviewing 101 -- Michele Huey
Everyone has a story. But not everyone can write that story. That's where we writers can help. Too often, though, our subjects won't open up enough to reveal the important details that make an account memorable. Michele Huey, who has interviewed and written about dozens of individuals for her "People Who Make a Difference" newspaper series, shows you how to get beyond the mask and to the heart of a transforming story by asking the right questions.
RX Manuscript Critique -- Michele Huey
"RX (n.) A prescription for medicine or a medical appliance. A remedy, cure, or solution for a disorder or problem."
"RX (n.) A prescription for medicine or a medical appliance. A remedy, cure, or solution for a disorder or problem."
What am I doing wrong? is a question writers
often ask. Reading how-to books and articles, and analyzing other
writers' works can take you so far. It's like reading about health, but
not getting answers that address your particular problem.
In this hands-on workshop, under direction of
writing mentor and freelance editor Michele Huey, you'll diagnose
problems and suggest solutions to the first pages of samples submitted
anonymously in advance by workshop attendees.
Submission guidelines: Times New Roman font, 12
pt (regular, not bold or italic); double-spaced with no extra spaces
between paragraphs; one space between sentences; align left
justification, not full; 1 inch top and bottom margins, 1.25 inches side
margin; one page only (about 250 words). Send submissions to michelehuey@yahoo.com by April 15.
Check out the other workshops and faculty.
The conference cost includes your
choice of workshops, lunch, the critique of one manuscript (no more
than six pages), and the opportunity to enter nine writing contests.
For additional cost, you may submit additional pages of a manuscript
for critique.
Coffee and donuts will be available
in the fellowship hall during registration. Lunch will be served in
two shifts. You may skip lunch to attend a fifth workshop without
change in conference fee.
A bookstore will be set up for your
participation. You may bring your published works to sell on commission.
