How to Be a More Interesting Writer, Session II: Tricks and Techniques

2

A short course for poets, fiction writers,

journalists, journal-keepers, travel writers,

essayists, reviewers, and in fact

pretty much anyone who puts pen to paper or finger to keyboard.

The way to develop your writing, no matter what kind or genre of writer you are, is not to ask “How can I be a better writer?” That leads to all kinds of self-sabotage.

No, the trick is to ask, “How can I be a more interesting writer?”

Starting in early July, I offered a five-session course devoted specifically to that goal, with all kinds of interesting (yes) and unusual activities.

After two weeks’ break (no meeting on August 23rd or August 30th), the next session will start at the same time, 8-9:30 PM BST, and will run from September 6th to October 11th with no class on September 20th, as I’ll be coming back from giving a talk in Paris.

In this session, we’ll be moving on from the profound question of finding your subject to focus on how best to use your voice—how to make your prose fizz and sparkle without sounding as though you’re trying too hard.

Once again, the cost will be $75 for the session, payable through the button below.
