WRITERS' LAUNCH II

Instructor: Julie Gilbert

The Writers' Academy At The Kravis Center

The class is an additional eight-week session of the Writers' Launch (January 3-February 21). Writers' Launch is just that – a pad from which to raise written expression.  Within every human being there are unspoken thoughts and memories: there is buried treasure.  This course is designed to alchemize the unexpressed bounty into a discipline of form, content, technique and style, which will result in a story. The focus and goal is toward the fictional short story. Writers' Launch will be held on March 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29, and April 5, 12 & 19.

Cohen Pavilion

Registration $300 

March 1-2 – 7:30 p.m.  (Thursday & Friday)
