Backspace Agent-Author Seminar
I'll be making two presentations at the Backspace Writers Conference in NYC this year. "I'm in Your Corner" - about the nuts and bolts of coaching; and "Courting Your Muse" - about fostering a strong relationship with your creative side. I'll also be doing mini coaching sessions. This will be a blast.
This is one of my favorite classes to teach. Just six weeks long, no long assignments, no in-class critiques. It’s all about getting re-acquainted with writing that feels good. We do a lot of writing in class, a wild array of exercises, and some talk about writing fundamentals and the basics of keeping your writing going.
Bananafish is a series of writing groups around the idea that it's worth a few bucks ($50 per month in this case) to hire a writer/teacher to handle the logistics, moderate the meetings, and keep everything on an even keel. It's my job to stimulate inspired discussion and tease out helpful feedback while making sure that all voices are heard and no one gets beaten up.
NYC
Our New York group meets in the East Village on alternate Monday evenings for two hours twice a month.
ONLINE
For writers outside the New York area, there is space in the online group. We communicate and share works online and have realtime teleconference meetings twice a month.
In the spirit of healthy cross-pollination, all genres are welcome. You don't have to be a published writer to join, but these groups aren't for absolute beginners. If you're interested, request to join our group and sit in on a meeting.
