Not this weekend, but soon.
ITEM 1: Workshop – A Good Story is a Good Story: Writing Well for Children and Adults
Presenter – Alan Cumyn
A day-long workshop exploring universal aspects of fine writing and storytelling whether writing for children or adults.
What makes a good story? How to mine your own experience to create compelling fiction for others. How to switch gears to write for different audiences. Through guided exercises, discussions and examples from his own deeply varied work, Cumyn will explore these and other issues.
Alan Cumyn is the author of ten novels including the Giller-nominated Burridge Unbound, a chilling human rights novel, Losing It, a darkly hilarious work about madness, and such beloved works for children as The Secret Life of Owen Skye.
Cumyn is currently on faculty at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
