Details

Bring back the fun, whimsy and joy you once felt when writing! Participants will engage in exercises to help them free associate ideas and activate their senses. Each writer will also share 500 words of their prose (fiction or nonfiction) and apply techniques used in the small group work to reshape their revision process.

About the instructor: Mary Collins taught nonfiction part-time at the Johns Hopkins' MA in Writing Program in DC for 12 years, where she won the teaching award. Currently she is the Program Coordinator for the Writing Minors and a full professor at Central CT State University. For the last six years, she has also taught the nonfiction workshop for the Yale Summer Writing Program. The focus of her new book, A Play Book: Creating Writers, Creating Citizens, forms the core of the content of her workshop.
