Welcome 2012 Writer-in-Residence!

Cameron Scott"Story"

"Things in life have no real beginning, though our stories about them
always do." -Colum McCann

Join Fishtrap Writer-in-Residence Cameron Scott for a six-week generative writing workshop with an emphasis on story. From poetry to prose and every genre in-between, we will examine the role of story in our lives and on the page, with inspiration at our fingertips, and maybe a bit of chocolate, too.

The six Monday-evening sessions begin on February 13, 2012, and run through March 19 at the Coffin House in Enterprise, OR. Sessions begin at 7:00, and are approximately 1.5 hours long. Cost for the workshop is $20. Call or email Ben at Fishtrap to register (ben@fishtrap.org)
