Milwaukee Writers Workshop

The Poetry Workshop will have its first meeting at Boswell Book Company on Downer on June 18, 2009 at 6:30.

Thanks to all who participated in workshop planning at the 6/6 WriteCamp. Per that discussion the "price of admission" to the workshop is to bring one work of poetry to share - make it a favorite. It can be a work of your own or another poet for either visual or oral presentation.

We'll take it from there.

Next Meeting is 6:30 Monday, June 15th at the Wauwatosa Library conference room.

Destalis Chapters 7-12 will be discussed (found on Greg's site, email him for download instructions).

Use the middle Critique Sheet for discussion notes (found in Current Stories)

The Novel Group will be meeting on June 1st at 6:30pm at the Wauwatosa Library. They will be reading Chapters 1-6 of Greg Spry's Destalis, which is available in the Current Stories section of the site.

If you have any questions, please contact Greg Spry or Boone Dryden.

The next meeting for the Novel group will be held May 18th at 6:30 pm at the Wauwatosa Public Library. The current piece being looked at is Pat Lafferty's "2030" which is up on the site's Current Stories section.

If you've been concidering joining the novel group, now would be a great time. The group will begin reading the first section of the next novel submission following this meeting. Show up on the 18th around 7:30 to introduce yourself, get to know the other group members and experience the last few comments of a critiquing session.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (boone@milwaukeewritersworkshop.com) or Greg Spry (grspry@gmail.com).

The next meeting of the short story group will be on May 10th at Bucketworks on 6th and Vliet.

We will be reading "Coffee Talk" by C.S. and "Mayor Henri" by Katie Jozwik. These are both relatively short pieces, so we may throw in another one sometime before the group.

We will also be discussing pacing during the workshop portion. If you're interested in discussing the topic, please feel free to bring your own material to talk about or give to the group.

If you have any questions, please contact me (Boone).
