What do you do at a workshop?
Posted by Rachel

This is something a lot of writers ask, just after “Is it worth my money?” The answer to both is “It depends.”

 

When you are thinking about going to a workshop the first question you should ask is directed to yourself: What do I want to get out of this? Do I need to work on general writing skills, genre issues, or just need somone to tell me why my story isn't working? It’s easier to pick a workshop, and decide if it's worth the money to go, once you know what you want.

 

For those of you who wonder what goes on during a workshop, here is one you can peek at. Peter Breyer does a blog for Writers of the Future and he has posted pictures and descriptions of their recent Writers & Illustrators of the Future workshop. Their workshop included making up a story based on an object given on the first day and taking some classes on the business aspect of writing.

 

Not all workshops are structured like this, but it does give you an idea of the kinds of things that go on.
