I Should Have Paid More Attention in English Class

Now that you're writing, do aspects of writing challenge you? Could you do with a painless review of grammar, mechanics, and writing conventions focused on your own works in progress? Topics for this craft talk may include the following: Formatting manuscripts, grammar and punctuation rules that matter, summarizing source materials (for nonfiction writers) avoiding plagiarism (for nonfiction writers), citing sources (for nonfiction writers), choosing powerful verbs, organizing your writing, and more. Participants will work in small groups to learn the skill using a brief writing sample and then apply the course content to their works in progress.
