Writers Lane at the LightHouse: Professionalism with all Authors (online)

Since April, LightHouse has offered a semimonthly virtual writing workshop series. Each month a blind author would cover a different genre. Genres included poetry, personal essay/op ed, journalism and fiction. Each author provided writing tips as well as tips of the trade including how to submit your work, how to pitch ideas to editors, and what it takes to have a writing career. In the final two classes of this workshop, the four authors will return to discuss professionalism.

Join authors Stephen Kuusisto, Andrew Leland, James Tate Hill and M. Leona Godin and other aspiring LightHouse writers for the final two classes.

This virtual writing workshop series will help you grow confident in several genres: poetry, personal essay/op ed, journalism, and fiction. It will also address professionalism including: how to submit your work, how to pitch ideas to editors, and what it takes to have a writing career. Each month a visiting author will give students an overview of the genre, give an assignment for the following week, and provide spoken feedback on a portion of the work as well as suggestions for next steps.
