Writing Workshop: “Writing, Publishing and Process”

Saturday, November 7th

Carole DeSanti, Vice President and Executive Editor at Penguin Random House, will hold a workshop focused on writing, publishing and creative process. The workshop will focus on techniques for becoming your own first editor and best feedback system, address questions about publishing, and engage issues related to shifting from academic writing to addressing a general audience readership.

Carole is known for editing and publishing some of the most outstanding women’s voices of our time, including bestselling author Deborah Harkness, Booker-finalist Ruth Ozeki, Melissa Bank, Dorothy Allison, Terry McMillan and many others. She is also the author of a novel, The Unruly Passions of Eugénie R., published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2012.

This session is appropriate for writers of all levels and stages of work, but it is helpful to have a specific project in mind.

Free and open to the public
