Triangle Writers Opens Fall 2011 Writing Workshops in Raleigh

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Novelists, Memoirists and Journalists in the Triangle

Writers of all genres are welcome in workshops focused on sensory prompts, creating a writer’s website and learning about self-publishing. Three workshops are offered: Aromas and Creativity, Websites for Writers 101 and Self-Publishing Basics. All workshops take place from 10:30AM to 12:30PM on Saturdays throughout October 2011.

Saturday, October 1 – Aromas and Creativity: This one-of-a-kind workshop uses aromas instead of words or objects as creative writing prompts. A certified aromatherapist has selected specific essential oils shown to increase creativity. Workshop fee also includes a gift bag of products and attendees can create their own “creativity potion” to take home.

Saturday, October 8 – Websites for Writers 101: Websites can cost thousands of dollars to create and maintain. Alternatively, you can pay less than $100 for a hosting service, domain and be your own webmaster. Explore different services, neuromarketing techniques, make an outline for your website and learn SEO basics. Brunch included.

Saturday, October 15 – Self-Publishing Basics: Is your manuscript sparkling and ready to be printed and bound? If you’re con-sidering self-publishing your novel, memoir, non-fiction book or poetry, are you confident you can market your product effectively? Learn how to create a writer’s platform and facets of self-publishing. Brunch included.
