April Presenter: F.I. Goldhaber
What Prose Writers Can Learn from Poetry
Poetry does not require rhyme, complicated structure, or esoteric language and imagery. At its best, poetry distills narrative and imagery down to the fewest, strongest words possible. By embracing poetry, prose writers can learn how to find the core essence of their stories, allowing them to condense their narration into fewer, more powerful words.
F.I. Goldhaber's second poetry collection, Pairs of Poems, was ranked number three in the Preditors & Editors readers poll for poems published in 2008. She has shared her poetry at spoken word events in Salem and Portland and has appeared at venues such as Wordstock, Oregon Literary Review, Barnes & Noble Lloyd Center Reading Series, Chemeketa Community College, etc. She also has given presentations on subjects as diverse as marketing, writing erotica, and organization building. In addition to two collections of poetry, more than 40 of her poems have been published in magazines, journals, e-zines, and newspapers. She has sold 16 short stories and had three erotica novels published under another name.
In this high energy workshop, you'll learn how to make your characters believable, how to build a great plot kids will love, and how to deal with things like copyright, illustrations, and submitting to publishers. For beginning writers and seasoned authors, this lively interactive session will energize you and help you write your story.
