Our Summer Writers Roundtable celebrates its 11-year anniversary at VU! This course presents a series of weekly tutorials designed to unleash your creativity and help you break through to better writing. The theme of this five-week workshop is "Writing What You Know," and you'll be encouraged to draw upon your personal experiences. You will learn to view the familiar things in everyday life in a new light and sharpen your perception of the world around you. The curriculum will also explore how successful authors use their own personal histories to form the basis of their work. Weekly lessons will include readings and writing prompts designed to help develop the use of memory, observation, and the senses. Participants will share their writings and critiques on the Writers Roundtable forum, which will be moderated by the instructor. This class is appropriate for beginning writers, working authors, and anyone who is called upon to produce written material on the job, at school, or for leisure enjoyment. Curriculum: Five week course. No textbook required. Prerequisites: None. All students may enroll in this class. Prior completion of basic grammar courses offered at VU is suggested but not required.
