SUMMARY:December Manuscript Intensive Program
DESCRIPTION:Send your book out without the self-doubt. Instead work with one of our editors to get your manuscript in shape.   In this month-long one-on-one intensive\, an experienced published author will closely read your entire book and mentor you\, giving focused editorial feedback on the first 25 pages and an editorial letter to guide revision of the rest. \n\nThere will be significant opportunity for extended correspondence with your mentor\, who will provide specific suggestions for revision and offer general advice on the current state of publishing\, and next steps for you to take in your publishing journey. Work with us before sending out your manuscript to help your book really shine! \nHow it works:\n\nThe San Francisco Creative Writing Institute Manuscript Intensive is a four-week\, one-on-one mentorship with a published writer to get help with your completed prose manuscript (novel\, memoir or other non-fiction\, essay or story collection) and receive valuable feedback for revision or submission to agents or publishers.\n\nIf you have a completed manuscript and want to know what the next steps to take are\, this is the course for you.\n\n\n\n\nNext Steps:\nAfter you register\, you’ll email the manuscript to us at mentor@sfwriting.institute along with tendering a retainer fee. \n\nWe will look at your manuscript and assign you one of our mentors based on your work and their specialties. Read up on our list of mentors here.\n\n\n\n\nWeekly Schedule: December 01\, 2020 – December 31\, 2020\, All Day\nWeek 1 – Your mentor will spend the first week of the month reading your entire book. \n\nWeek 2 – In the second week you will receive an editorial mark-up of the first chapter or first 25 pages (whichever is most appropriate) and an editorial letter oriented toward revision.\n\nWeek 3 – In the third week\, you can initiate an email conversation about the edits and feedback\, and even offer a revision of the first pages for a “second look.”\n\nWeek 4 – In the final week\, your mentor will respond to your commentary and any possible revisions to the opening pages and offer final guidance for revision or submission.

SUMMARY:Digging Deep: A Generative Writing Workshop with Lee Romer Kaplan
DESCRIPTION:We’re beginning to remember that the first poets didn’t come out of a classroom\, that poetry began when somebody walked off of a savanna or out of a cave and looked up at the sky with wonder and said\, “Ahhh.” That was the first poem. \n–Lucille Clifton \nIn this time of social distancing and pandemic\, this three-session remote workshop is designed to bypass constriction and limitation by offering portals into imagery\, language\, and creative expression. Using a variety of prompts\, both individual and collaborative\, we will dig deep and unearth the material of memory\, the raw clay from which to generate new writing\, both poetry and prose\, in our workshop and beyond. \nYour instructor will draw upon Amherst Writers & Artists Method\, journaling\, dream work\, and other practices that center the writer and protect the writer’s voice and vision for the work. Whether you are new to writing or much published\, you will find sustenance here. You will leave this class with new poems or short prose pieces\, and a trove of inspiration for future work. At least two pieces will receive peer feedback in a small group workshop and\, if the student desires feedback from the instructor\, at least one piece will receive oral feedback from her. \nDecember 01 – December 15\n3 Tuesdays\, (PST) 6:30pm – 9:00pm\n\n$153.45 for members\n$165 for non-members

SUMMARY:Short and Sweet: Prose Poems\, Flash Fiction and Mini-Memoirs with Alison Luterman
DESCRIPTION:“If brevity is the soul of wit\, then prose poems and flash memoirs are manna for the spirit! They are great ways to cut through to the heart of things; the space limitation helps push writers to leap-frog over thickets of exposition to land on the just-enough resonance of a clear thought or image\,” says instructor Alison Luterman. \nIn this online class we’ll look at examples of short pieces from practitioners such as Lydia Davis and Russell Edson\, and we’ll explore how to incorporate techniques like free association and juxtaposition into our work. Then we’ll write\, share\, and write some more. \nAlison says\, “By the end of class\, students will be conversant in a variety of short forms\, and will have a fistful of their own short pieces to link together or savor individually.” \nAll levels welcome; come prepared to jump in and splash around. \nDecember 03 – December 17\n3 Thursdays\, (PST) 7:00pm – 9:30pm\n\n\n$153.45 for members \n$165 for non-members
