Workshops


As it turns out, we have an even number of fiction v. nonfiction/memoir requests, so we’ve assigned workshops by genre.  Louise Freeman-Toole (louisefreemantoole@yahoo.com) will lead the fiction writers workshop, and Andromeda Romano-Lax (lax@alaska.net) will lead the memoir/non-fiction group. 

Workshop sessions will be held from 4 – 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday during the retreat.  Locations will be announced on site by workshop leaders. Prior to August 20, participants must submit up to 10 pages of manuscript (typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman or similar font, paginated) to be workshopped.  To facilitate the sharing of manuscripts to be workshopped, we’ve set up a Dropbox folder where you can save and retrieve manuscripts.  If you have any trouble with using the Dropbox folder, please email your workshop leader. 

Fiction:

Lorena Knapp
Steve Shamburek
Karen Meyer
Lucian Childs

Non-fiction/memoir:

Debbie LaFleiche
Stephanie Jaeger
Arlene Lidbergh-Jasper
Cindy Von Halle


Each participant will need to print and read the manuscripts of three other participants prior to the workshop sessions. You should also bring a copy of your own manuscript.  Your workshop leader may email you with additional guidelines and suggestions to approaching manuscripts in the workshop.
