The Key to Writing that Sells
Hemingway said that there is no such thing as writing, only rewriting. What he meant is that we cannot expect any first draft to be good writing. Those occasions when it does come out fabulous right off the bat are rare and magical. Even professional writers like Stephen King have to rewrite and revise several times before their manuscripts are ready for publication. If you’d like your writing to be publishable, come to this workshop and learn the tricks that the professionals know in order to polish your writing until it shines. Through discussion, reviewing sample pieces, and in-class writing exercises, novelist and writing teacher Evon Davis will raise your writing up to the next level.| Price: | $51 Non-Member $39 Member $20 optional materials fee payable in class | |

Creating Compelling Characters
What makes us care about how a character struggles? What makes us fall in love with the character on the page? When people read stories, they want to feel what the characters feel. They want to be moved, touched, and inspired by character-driven stories. Writers do this through the way they create their characters. In this workshop, we will explore the elements needed to make your characters ones that readers will love. Once they pick up your book or short story, they won’t be able to put it down. Evon Davis is the author of several books, including two novels, Pandora’s Box and The Bohemian Life.| Price: | $51 Non-Member $39 Member $20 optional materials fee payable in class | |
