WORKSHOPS:
I am available to teach creative writing workshops. All workshops focus on the power of language and the importance of self-expression but may also be tailored to the specific needs of the group. Possible themes include “Metaphorically Speaking,” “The Plot Thickens…,” “Character Crazy,” “It’s a Rap: Poetry with a Beat,” “Narrative Matters,” and “Writing the Language of Dreams.” We can workshop anywhere: at your school, on your porch, in your favorite pub, or at your local library. If you ask nicely, I might also come read to you in your parlor and/or defeat you at Scrabble. Send an email to melba@melbamajor.com for more information.
