WORKSHOP STRATEGIES FOR REVISITING, REIMAGINING and IMPROVING YOUR PROSE Few get it right—much less perfect—the first time around. Revision is not only an integral part of the writing process, it can also be the most rewarding. Bring a minimum of 5 pages of your current prose project (novel, novella, short story, memoir or essay) to work on in class. This is a prose revision workshop. Poets are welcome to attend, but the exercises are prose exercises. Send an email to Katherine Brown kheimannbrown@gmail.com to reserve your seat. Payment can be mailed to Writers of the Mendocino Coast, PO Box 762, Fort Bragg 95437 or paid at the door prior to the workshop. FORT BRAGG LIBRARY
POETRY WRITING WORKSHOPS The workshops include samples of the various styles and techniques of poetry writing, displays of published works, in-session writing exercises along with readings and discussions of individual works produced during the workshops. Every third Wednesday of the month, 2-3:30 pm, find your hidden poet within! Workshops are free. All ages are welcome. Visit the library site for more. REGISTRATION IS OPEN : MENDOCINO COAST WRITERS CONFERENCE
