Writers in Paradise, a established program dedicated to the craft of writing, presents a nonfiction workshop led by Madeleine Blais, a distinguished practitioner in the field. This opportunity is designed for writers working across memoir, essays, historical accounts, biography, or hybrid forms, who seek to refine their narrative strategies. The workshop emphasizes the transformation of situations into stories, a particularly nuanced challenge in nonfiction, and offers a structured environment for rigorous creative development. The week-long intensive will engage participants in daily prompts and group brainstorming sessions aimed at generating an 'engine' for their prose. The curatorial vision centers on fostering lively, sustainable writing practices, with a dual focus on immediate manuscript refinement and the cultivation of future subject matter. Participants are expected to arrive with sample work and depart with renewed enthusiasm and a toolkit for ongoing production. Submission requirements are precise: a single file containing up to 25 pages of essays or a memoir-in-progress, plus a one-page synopsis as the final page, totaling no more than 26 pages. This structure ensures that the jury can assess both the writer's prose style and their overarching narrative intent. The workshop is a paid opportunity, with a fee of $25.00 USD, reflecting a commitment to accessible professional development.
