Workshop description:
The two-part workshop includes going through the point of generating text through writing activities on different themes. Participants will think about what writing means, how it finds its form, and the benefits of a writing practice. They will build community through sharing. Also addressed are some basic techniques of editing your own and other’s work, writing a cover letter for submission of your work and considering and discussing questions around publication as well as how to deal with and have fun with rejections.
