Keith Liggett will be offering a small-group writers workshop.

Keith Liggett’s workshops are modeled on the traditional MFA group critique. By creating a safe environment for critique from peers, writers learn how others read their work and are able to make effective editorial changes. Because there is no overriding structure to the workshops, they are equally valuable for emerging writers and established writers. The critique level matches the writing. Keith tries to mix all the genres in one group—fiction, non-fiction, and poetry—believing that each genre has a unique and valuable perspective on the others.

Time: 9am to 12noon. Those writers not busy in the afternoon will meet casually to discuss publishing and other writing issues.

The groups are limited to eight.

Tuition: $350 CAD

You are invited to our Open Readings at 6 pm at A-1 Vacuum in downtown Kalispell - please park in the rear & use the back door.

Plan to read up to 6 pages if there is a light crowd; otherwise, 2-3 pages, double-spaced with 1" margins.

If you have a few pages, you'd like input on, make about 8-10 copies to pass out, and bring them along.
