WALPOLE, N.H.-Along with more advanced workshops, award-winning author Pam Bernard will offer a special workshop for new writers this summer.
This is a great opportunity to dive in for those who have been curious about the process or worried that a lack of writing background will be disqualifying, according to a news release.
New writers are always welcome in Bernard's workshops, along with more seasoned writers and writers who are ready to put a final manuscript together and perhaps publish.
The workshops are skill-based. Each writer progresses at a pace that feels comfortable. The goal of any workshop, Bernard says, is to learn how to be a better writer - to study the craft, to feel free enough to experiment, and to revise with authority.
"I love working with folks just starting out," Bernard said in a news release, "to see that spark of recognition when the process begins to make sense."
A retired professor of writing, Bernard is an author, editor, and writing mentor and instructor. She works also one-on-one with writers of nonfiction and poetry in a variety of ways. Bernard is the author of four books, the latest a novel in verse titled "Esther." Her collection "Across the Dark" was a finalist for the National Poetry Series.
Workshops are hybrid, using the Owl meeting device, to accommodate those who must attend remotely. The Owl makes the experience for the participant much more realistic.
