Wordcrafters of Eugene: Fiction Fluency Seminar
Wordcrafters of Eugene presents a unique fiction fluency seminar series with award-winning author and teacher, Eric Witchey. Each seminar stands alone, while also fitting in to the overall series being offered. The seminars open with a brief discussion of the techniques being presented, and end with the ideas of how the techniques may be used as practices over the following month to prepare for the next seminar, or for internalizing the concepts and making them a part of one’s personal fiction fluency. Each seminar takes place Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings to simplify travel arrangements for those traveling to/from Eugene.
Here’s the information for the upcoming seminar for April.
