One Spot Open in Advanced Travel Writing Workshop in San Francisco

By Larry Habegger | October 10th, 2007 | No Comments

I have one spot remaining in my advanced personal travel writing workshop that starts tonight in San Francisco. The class is a series of seven meetings, all but one on Wednesday nights, beginning Oct. 10. Instead of meeting on Halloween we’ll meet that week on Thursday, Nov. 1. We’ll also postpone our meeting on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (Nov. 21) and instead have our final meeting on the following Wednesday, Nov. 28. All meetings run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 4th and Townsend Streets across the street from the Caltrain station, a short block away from the Muni Metro stop and several bus lines. For those who drive, there’s ample free parking. The group will be a minimum of six people and a maximum of ten. Cost will depend on group size.

In the first session we’ll get to know each other, talking about your experience, your goals, what you’d like to get out of this class, and, of course, the material you’re working on. We’ll also read and discuss some examples of superb writing. In the six subsequent sessions we’ll work on your stories in depth. Each week half the group will send a story to everyone for all to read in advance so we can be prepared for discussion in class. This way, each of you will get three of your stories worked on over the seven weeks, and you’ll have the benefit of critiquing everyone else’s pieces.

Once we’ve finished our seven weeks together this class could transform into a master class that meets monthly or twice-monthly indefinitely, but that will depend on interest. I have had two ongoing monthly classes and one ongoing twice-monthly class that began as weekly sessions like this. One is still running and it’s worked out nicely for all.
