Create a Writing Routine that Works
Presented by: Melanie Figg
Struggling to reach a writing goal, or want to add more writing time into your life? In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to create a regular writing routine. Join 2019 NEA Fellow Melanie Figg for a practical guide to begin building a sustainable writing practice. We’ll discuss obstacles to success, bust some myths that hold us back, and take note of some common pitfalls. Leave with a renewed commitment to your work and a strong plan to put in place!
Writing Poetry for Electronic Media
Presented by: Henry Crawford
The workshop will focus on the special considerations of poets publishing work on the Internet. The growing number of purely online websites will be examined. Key differences between text layout and HTML will be discussed with emphasis on how they apply to line breaks and the overall visual shape of a poem that may be viewed on computers, tablets and phones. Finally, new areas of expression available to poets using electronic media will be explored, including hypertext linking and interactive text.
How to Submit Your Writing for Publication
Presented by: Arthur Klepchukov
How do you know when your writing is ready for publication or where to submit them? Perhaps you've written a few stories, poems, or essays and want to know where to send them. How do you choose from among the deluge of submission opportunities? How do you make sense of submission guidelines? Learn what tools and resources exist to help you on your journey to publication in this informative workshop for writers who want to begin their paths to publication.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
