The BCAE Hosts Second Annual Writing Symposium Led by Local Writers

Dec. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- The day will feature a series of workshops led by the BCAE’s instructors, all notable writers and experts in their field, covering topics such as lifestyle, travel, food, and entertainment along with a lunch and keynote with special guest John Mariani of Esquire Magazine.

Each student will choose (2) three-hour workshops featuring an insider’s guide to the industry, a Q&A, and an assignment to be completed for review the second half of the class.
