Inlandia Writers Workshop already a success!

Thanks to all who attended the first meeting of the Inlandia Writers Workshop, Summer 2009 on June 11. Now in its third season (summer 2008, winter 2009, summer 2009), this shapes up to be the biggest workshop. More than thirty Inland Empire area writers, from beginning writers to college students to accomplished authors, were in attendance and we had a lively, fun, and inspiration meeting. The workshop will meet on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 through July 20, and is free!

Our focus is on the Inland Empire region...that is, to generate writing of all types using the I.E. as a pivot-point. In this workshop, we'll shape a "storied landscape" using geography in all senses of the concept: the people, places, events, and uniqueness of this enticing area. However, participants are free to write using subjects and themes of their choice, and are welcome to focus on works already in progress.

This week, the class will be meeting at the Riverside Library again from 6:30-8:30 p.m.. Please feel free to join us. We'll be doing lots of in-class writing and critique, as well - if you'd like to have works critiqued, bring 2-3 pages of a sample of your work, and 5 copies. We'll be breaking into smaller groups for workshop.
