this Venomous Problem
Instructor: Irene S. Roth
Registration fee: $80
Description:
Many writers are overwhelmed by the devastating effects of writer’s block. Writer’s block occurs when a writer’s creativity becomes frozen. It seems like no matter what the writer does, (s)he is unable to write. There are many reasons writer’s block occurs. Writer’s block can occur if you’re an all-or-nothing writer, if you’re constantly disturbed by your family and other activities, or if you suffer from burn out, just to name a few. The good news is that writers can take steps to overcome it. The trick is to try and do something about writer’s block before it gets to be a real problem, stifling productivity and affecting how the writer feels towards his/her writing.
In this workshop, we will look at 20 practical tips that every writer can use when (s)he becomes paralyzed by writer’s block. The registrant will have an opportunity to put some of these tips into practise right during the workshop by completing some of the assignments.

How to Sell Yourself
Instructor: VS Grenier
This workshop is her most requested for writing conferences and by writer's groups.
Registration Fee: $90
Description:
It‘s more than writing a good story or article when it comes to being noticed by publishers and editors. Think about it, how many bad books are out there making money? How many awful articles have you read in recent publications? Do you wonder how these writers are getting published and you’re not? Do you think it has to do with the catch 22 system? In some ways, it does, but knowing how to sell yourself is key. You’re not just a writer . . . you’re a Salesman! And the product you’re selling is Yourself!
As writers, we are a product, not just our books. Many writers aren't successful because they don't know how to sell themselves; let alone their writing.
