WELCOME TO THE HVWC CALENDAR: home of all our upcoming readings, events and workshops. You can view by list or calendar (see right menu to choose). Click the colored tabs below to show only specific options. Our workshops run as multi-session series or one-day “intensives.” Note, we list the multi-session courses on the first day they meet only. The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.
What’s Landscape Got to Do With it? Memoir Workshop with Karen Auvinen (via Zoom)
October 22 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
$130.00
WHAT’S LANDSCAPE GOT TO DO WITH IT? Setting can do a lot of the heavy lifting in any story. How your characters interact with place or other characters in a given landscape, coupled with how you choose to describe it, can suggest more about what is happening in a story or scene than straight telling. Plan to write and
experiment.
