  Dates: September 17 through October 1 (Thurs)

  Description: In this three-week online workshop, you’ll use your time generating new work and learning strategies for incorporating literary magical realism into your prose. Participants are expected to submit 1-3 new drafts (a total of 3,000 words) for review over the course of this workshop and will receive weekly prompts to get them started. I will offer my feedback on what works, what could be improved, what questions might linger, and how well you were able to capture elements of magical realism. My aim is to nurture your understanding of literary magical realism so that it becomes a natural and organic direction for your writing.

  This class is appropriate for writers who are somewhat familiar with literary magical realism or speculative fiction. My specific focus will be on assisting writers in generating new work that shows a mastery of literary magical realism. Handouts will offer writing strategies and some light supplemental reading. This class is limited to 8 members and will meet with me through a private platform online. There is an orientation period so that participants can familiarize themselves with the platform (which is pretty easy to use). There is no live chat session for this workshop; the focus for now is to learn by doing; that is, generating new magical realist work and acquiring new tools for honing those skills. This workshop will be offered again in February 2010.

  Texts/materials: Announced once class is filled

  Price/Payment Form:$75; PayPal

  Class Min/Max: 4/8

  Platform orientation: September 10

  Level: intermediate (if you know what magical realism is, you qualify)

  Duration: Three sessions of generative writing aided by prompts

  Format: Online/NonInteractive [less]

  I direct the Field's End Writers' Conference, and we could really use some new sponsors this year! We're especially interested in small Kitsap county businesses who offer services of particular use to writers: chiropractors, stationery stores, office supply stores, yoga instructors, computer maintenance service businesses, bookstores, household cleaners and maintenance businesses, coffeehouses. Will also be thrilled to work with major Seattle-area corporations looking to help our local writers attain their dreams. Contact me at tamarasellman@gmail.com if you're interested. I'm sure we can work something out that helps give your business exposure and community presence. [less]
