In this three-hour workshop, we'll slow way down and read small pieces of writing not to admire them, but to take them apart. 

How does a sentence earn its ending? Why does one detail break your heart and another slide right past? What is that writer doing, and how can you do that too, in your own voice? 

You'll leave with a set of questions to bring to everything you read, a marked-up page or two, and a piece of your own writing that borrows a move from a master. Bring a pen you love and one book you can't stop rereading.

Taught by authors Patti Digh and Julie Gieseke
