It was a hit last fall, so we’re doing it again. The Powerful Narrative is returning to beautiful Wildacres Retreat Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, October 11-14, 2011.
The Powerful Narrative is is a workshop my wife Carol––a nonfiction writer and coach––and I developed focusing on the role of that powerful engine and how it runs both fiction and nonfiction.
We’ll look at how story elements shape and power both fiction and creative nonfiction. We’ll examine story structures and methods of narrative storytelling. Narrative is the driving wheel of both, so we’ll zero in on how it works in each––emphasizing similarities and differences.
It’s a hands-on workshop, meaning you’ll do lots of of writing, and leave with a notebook full of fresh ideas–for both your current projects and the new ones you’ll discover in our intensive, deep-diving workshop freewrites.
Trust me, the food’s great –– and of course, you can’t do any better than Wildacres in October for combining creative work with simple pleasure. Take a look: 
Both Carol and I will be available for private conferences. There will be special afternoon events and readings in the evening–by you. We’ll also spend a little time on the practical side of today’s writing life: your “platform” as a writer, and how to use low-cost or free web tools to build it.
Registration is open, but spaces are limited, so sign up soon. Carol has more information on her site, Writer, Teacher, Coach. To register now, click here.
