17jan6:00 pm8:00 pmResolved to Write in 2019? Write Your Memoir or Novel!The Storytellers Cottage

Event Details

Do you want to make writing a priority in 2019? Are you working on a memoir or novel? If so, this collaborative workshop will provide you the necessary guidance, structure, and writer’s tools.

In this 6-week workshop, you’ll learn how to draw upon your life experiences to write a memoir or to craft fiction from your imagination. You’ll tackle your writing from all angles—as a reader, writer, editor, and with your eye toward publication. You’ll learn strategies to execute your ideas which will save you time as a writer and serve your story. You’ll study the craft of writing from weekly mentor texts (nonfiction and fiction).

Under the guidance of a working editor of two award-winning magazines, you’ll learn how to shape your writing to captivate readers and sustain their interest. We’ll delve into the ever-changing book publishing landscape and the many print and online magazines which could serve as homes for your writing or launch your memoir or novel. Writers of all levels are welcome. This is not a cookie-cutter workshop. No cone of silence for the writer. No stale handouts from the instructor. You’ll write at least a chapter a week. These six weeks will transform your writing!

Writer and editor C was named a 2018 finalist for the Frank McCourt Memoir Prize and is a Pushcart Prize nominee. Her writing has been published in the New York Times, Literary Itinerary, Memoir Magazine, Inkling Magazine, Brain Child: The Magazine for Thinking Mothers and Brain Teen: The Magazine for Thinking Parents. Her writing excellence has been noted by Proximity Magazine and The Southampton Review. She’s been featured in The Hartford Courant and has spoken on writing panels at colleges and universities. She earned her M.A.L.S. from Wesleyan University and received her undergraduate degree from The University of Connecticut. She’s studied writing at such institutions as Harvard University, Yale University, and Mount Holyoke College.

The Storyteller’s Cottage was named the best new cultural destination by Yankee Magazine and was recently featured on Better Connecticut.

Six session workshop. Thursday evenings from 6-8 pm. Dates: 1/10, 1/17, 1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/21 (no workshop 2/14). Register: https://www.storytellerscottage.com/book-online/write-your-memoir-or-novel-winter or call 860-877-6099. This workshop sold out in the fall!

Read what others are saying:

“Brie has a great program, she has a great service, and she’s always looking to even do better. It’s that concept of going above and beyond, where she’ll really tailor what she does to the individual person, which I think is really important. It’s not a one-size-fits-all for all of her clients and that’s how I’ve gotten to know the other people involved because she’s really individualized the program for each of us. This is a group program, so you’d think it would be just about the group as a whole, but it really is tailored just for you.”
-Marianne, a graduate of Shark School Coaching

“After working with Brie, I have much more of a hyper focus on what I have and where I want to be, much more clarity on my financial direction, and a feeling of empowerment. Brie is brilliant, so practical, and she’s a great teacher. I’ve recommended Brie to numerous people, some of whom were ready to take the plunge and haven’t regretted it. She shares her own path and struggle with you rather than filtering information down to you. I use Brie as a mentor. She gives the bare bones advice that everyone needs. To see any of my friends feel on top of their world and on top of their game is so satisfying and Brie is the perfect person to help.” -Alison, a graduate of Shark School Coaching

“I attended this event because I’m trying to grow my financial knowledge and learn how to be more savvy with money and make limited means go farther. Brie is hilarious, tells it how it is, personable, easy to talk to, and honest. She makes something that’s difficult and boring, less difficult and boring. After attending the event, I learned that this is a continual process and you’re always refining how you work with money and how money works for you. Where I am now is just the beginning of this process. Having a community to talk to and learn together has definitely been helpful.” Jenna, a previous Shark School event attendee
