The Writer’s Workshop is a daily three-hour class in which students read and discuss one another’s work under the guidance of a well-known writer. There will be three workshops each Residency: Poetry, Prose and Script. Students must choose one. Several weeks prior to the Residency, each student submits a manuscript to be workshopped, and all participants read the manuscripts prior to the Residency and mark them up with comments for the writer. Each writer will bring to the workshop a completed peer critique report for the other students’ manuscripts. During the Workshop, each writer’s work is critiqued in detail, and the instructor uses each manuscript to illustrate points about craft elements. The instructor may also choose to assign additional readings for the group to read and discuss in order to emphasize a certain craft element. The instructor may also assign writing exercises to be completed and shared during the workshop. The instructor also provides each student with detailed written feedback on his or her work and may choose to meet one-on-one with individual students.
