This interactive workshop will help you improve your ability to do successful, confident public readings of your writing. Participants will discuss the components of a good reading and receive helpful (and friendly) feedback. Come prepared to be actively engaged in the workshop and bring a short sample of your writing (3 to 5 minutes) to read to the group. Max. 12 participants, NSWA members only. Led by Calvin Wharton, an author with more than 40 years of publishing and writing experience and a faculty emeritus of Douglas College, where he taught creative writing and served as department chair.
