WORKSHOPS

July 10-17, 2026

I’ll be doing private manuscript consults at the Community of Writers Summer Writers Workshops in Fiction, Nonfiction & Memoir at Olympic Valley, CA. This is a terrific conference, super-instructive and generous of spirit. Applications are due March 10; financial aid is available.

Slow Reading Seminar

I’ve developed a two-hour seminar on how to read like a writer: one eye for pleasure, one eye on craft. We de-bone a short piece of work one sentence at a time, and holding each up to the light. Such close examination sharpens the way we both savor and learn from books—which in turn can improve our own writing skills.

To book this highly participatory seminar for an ongoing writing workshop, university class, or book club, please email me.
