FOUR WRITING PROMPTS: THE BEGINNING OF FOUR NEW STORIES OR POEMS

Please join us in our Studio where acclaimed writer and musician Ken Waldman will lead a 2-hour workshop designed for writers of any experience, ability, and age (though recommended for writers at least 13 years old).

The more you write, the luckier you get. Each time you start a piece, there’s an opportunity to get luckier than ever. The trick is getting started. Here, you’ll not only begin four new pieces, but will learn strategies to begin many more. The session is open to writers of all levels and experience.

RSVP is encouraged. The workshop is Pay-What-You-Can, with a suggested donation of $25.

In addition to being a fiddler (with 12 CDs), Ken Waldman is a former college professor with an MFA in Creative Writing from University of Alaska Fairbanks. He has 17 full-length poetry collections, a memoir (about his life as a touring artist), 3 children’s books, a creative writing manual, a short story collection, and a novel. Over 400 of his stories, poems, and essays have appeared in such journals as Beloit Poetry Journal and Poets & Writers. www.kenwaldman.com

Following the workshop, Ken will do a show titled Now Entering Alaska Time, where he combines fiddle tunes with Alaska-set stories and poems.

A long-time touring artist, Ken has played the widest range of venues, from the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage to the Dodge Poetry Festival to the Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland, Australia).  “Like a Ken Burns movie. . . .
