Description:
If
authors followed the conventional wisdom about creating a robust online
presence, they’d be blogging 2 days a week, tweeting one, and filling the rest
with FB posts. In other words, no time — or mental energy — left to actually
craft great books. The world NEEDS writers who have time to think and write the
big thoughts.

This
class takes a strategic, and sometimes contrarian, view of how authors can kick
the scree loose to find an online path to promotion that works FOR rather than
AGAINST the work they most care about.

AGAINST the work they most care about.
Focusing
on new technologies, off-bandwagon thinking, and the fundamentals of author-reader
interaction, the class is about 40% based on recent research into online
user/reader needs/desires and about 60% based on author self-analysis. The goal
of the class is for authors to discover the intersection of these and how to
use online tools to best offer their work to those who would benefit from it
most.

LIST
AND LITANY
This
class is designed to help you walk confidently into the metaphorical “blank
page”. As writers, we must do this again and again, regardless of whether
we are seasoned artists or just getting started. Our minds contain many doors,
our imaginations many openings and opportunities. In “List and Litany” we will
spend the first hour responding to a series of specific prompts. These will
take us through several imaginative doors. Next, we will read and begin to
shape our writings, looking for any patterns that present themselves. We will
listen to Christopher Dewdney perform a section of A Natural History of
Southwestern Ontario and we will read a few poems that use listing
effectively. The workshop will conclude with a reading and discussion of next
steps in developing the writing. Every student will have the opportunity to
send a piece of writing to the instructor via snail mail for a brief written
response.
