What you'll learn
Chapbooks are miniature portals into the wild frontier of the creative mind.
This 8-week crash course in chapbook building will have writers developing completed “market-ready” manuscripts in prose, poetry and/or flash fiction/creative nonfiction.
Receive group feedback and platform options for their books, including viable leads for third party publishers, self-publishing, a free one-hour consultation with the facilitator and even (if desired) chap assembly.
Saturdays, 11 am – 1 pm PDT 8/9, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30, 9/6, 9/13, 9/20, 9/27 Enrollment: $350 early bird pricing / $400 after 6/1
