Workshop 08-09 - Department of English

Attention all aspiring Creative Writers:
Writer in Residence Carol Bruneau

Critically acclaimed fiction writer Carol Bruneau has be praised by The Globe and Mail as "a first-class storyteller who uses words magically." Her novel Purple for Sky made the top 100 list of The Globe and Mail's "Best Books of 2000." During her residency (January 12-March 20), Carol will be available for individual consultation. She is also offering two different biweekly non-credit workshops for those wishing to pursue the craft of writing fiction:

Workshop One:
Got a tale itching to be told (or a voice yelling to be heard) but don't know how to start getting it down on paper? If you're a closet-writer - or just curious - come and explore ways of kick-starting the creative writing process in five informal, bi-weekly workshops, January 19, February 2, 16, March 2, 16; Monday evenings 6-9 p.m., King's College Senior Common Room.

Workshop Two:
Got a story that still needs work, but you're not sure what to fix or how to fix it? To help you explore and get feedback on the secret life of your piece, our four informal, bi-weekly workshops on revising will offer tips on successfully weaving fiction's web while considering the ideal reader / editor / publisher. January 26, February 9, 23, March 9, Monday evenings 6-9 p.m. King's College Senior Common Room.

Enrolment is limited to 15 per workshop, so please sign up early!
