"To find
a delightful writer is a treat; to find an
excellent teacher is a treasure. But to
find both a capable writer and an inspiring teacher in
one person is indeed rare! I have been blessed
to find this exceptional combination in Belinda
Anderson. She's been a part of my life for four
years and I am the richer for it."
--Genevieve Sowards Gillen
FEBRUARY 20, ALDERSON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (weather date March 10).
Belinda
will conducting a writing workshop for the Monroe Arts
Alliance at the Alderson Presbyterian Church, on Feb 20,
2012. This is in preparation for the 2012 Monroe
Arts Alliance Writing Contest, the deadline for which is
April 6, 2012. Belinda's workshop will be held at the
Alderson Presbyterian Church, Alderson, WV, on Monday,
February 20, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Those wishing to participate may register via this application.
A Monroe County native herself, Belinda will structure the workshop to fit the criteria of the MAA Writing Contest. Those new to the writing experience will learn how to develop ideas into short narratives, and those already writing will discover techniques for honing their skills. Participants will leave with material for possible contest entries. While the contest is open only to Monroe County citizens, anyone may attend the workshop. The day is a wonderful opportunity for all writers to spark their creativity and enjoy the fellowship of other writers.
Last year’s workshop was the genesis of WVW member Brittney Cassity’s “The Year We Loved the Pear Tree,” a story that took Best of Show in the Arts Alliance’s first Writing Contest. Other workshop participants also won prizes in the competition. Winners had their work published in “Monroe County Tales,” a book published by the Arts Alliance and hand-crafted by many of the authors.
The workshop is open to all. Advanced registration for the workshop is required. Registration forms are available at the Monroe Arts Alliance web site, www.monroeartsalliance.org, at the local libraries, or by calling 304-772-4568. There is a fee of $20.00 for the day-long session. Attendees are asked to bring notebooks and writing materials, and may bring their lunch or purchase a soup and sandwich lunch provided by the church for $5.00. Coffee, tea and water will be available compliments of the Monroe Arts Alliance.
