Mark Powell
Fiction
Sunday, Nov. 11th
"Getting
it on the page" This workshop will focus on the process of moving from
an initial idea to a solid (if not final) draft. We will
examine a number of passages by published writers.
Mark Powell is the author of the novels Prodigals, Blood Kin, and The Dark Corner.
He has
received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the
Breadloaf Writers' Conference. He teaches fiction writing at Stetson
University.
Non Fiction
Sunday, Nov. 11th
In this workshop session writers will explore the nature and balance of scene and exposition in their nonfiction and investigate other structures besides chonology. Though scene is used in fiction, how one approaches scene and dialogue is different when dealing with real life events. Students will write and share their work with the workshop group.

Poetry

flaneuses, wandering the city with a series of prompts designed to generate new work. Intervals inside and out, with a rain plan.
