Join Arts of the Albemarle and regional talents, in a workshop exploring the art of writing. This workshop will benefit writers of many levels and specialties, offering a variety of perspectives on the writing and publishing processes from those who know the game, including Sharon Burtner, Laurel Senick, Stan and Donna Colson, and Paul Vincent- many of whom have work and publications featured in AOA’s gallery.
Kicking off the workshop, Burtner will introduce her practice of combining painting and poetry before leading the group in an exercise. Next, Senick’s portion focuses on the act of getting words on the page, the importance of a writing mission statement, and when it’s okay to invite others to critique your work. The Colsons, whose focus lies in children’s literature, will shed light on their process of writing, editing, and illustrating a book. Then, in the final segment, attendees will get a look at the technicalities of completing a book with Vincent, who will explain the role of photos and captions from a publishing perspective.
