CONSULTING MENTORS PROGRAM
Gemini Ink is trying a different approach
to our mentoring program. Writers of fiction and poetry may
have their works-in-progress evaluated by professional writers
with whom Gemini Ink has worked in the past. The program is
limited to six participants in each genre.
Students will have
the opportunity to receive professional feedback that is
specific to the writing submitted. An affordable price makes
this opportunity especially enticing. These descriptions are
also listed in our spring catalogue. Sign up by calling 734-9673 or by registering
online beginning Jan. 3, 2007. WORKS
IN PROGRESS: Fiction
Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Instructor: Rolando
Hinojosa-Smith
The first six people to send in their manuscripts - up to 25 pages - will receive suggestions and advice from
internationally recognized
author Rolando Hinojosa-Smith. The recipient of numerous
literary awards, Hinojosa-Smith, will address style, plot,
voice, character, audience, dialogue and other literary concerns
you may have. This is a literary rather than publishing
consultation.

over phone, via snail mail, or e-mail.
Limit: 6 students
Registration Deadline: Accepting manuscripts from Jan. 3
- March 15, 2007
CPE Credits: 2 Language Arts (all levels)
Fee: $100/member; $110/non-member
WORKS IN PROGRESS: Poetry
Level: All
Instructor: Marian
Haddad
The first six people to
send in their manuscripts – up to 25 pages – will receive
suggestions and advice from poet, Marian Haddad, whose
consulting clients have won awards such as The Ashland Poetry
Prize. A literary rather than a publishing consultation, this
professional feedback will focus on sculpting each poem, making
it as tight as possible without losing the intent or integrity.
Haddad concentrates on line lengths and how the length of a line
paces the poem, on stanzaic formation (depending on the breath
and white space the poem may call for), line breaks and
enjambment, musical cadence and sound, specificity in naming
things, and poet’s voice.
Date: To be arranged on an individual basis
for meetings over phone, via snail mail, or e-mail.
Limit: 6 students
Registration Deadline: From Jan. 15 - March 30, 2007
CPE Credits: 2 Language Arts (all levels)
Fee: $100/member;
$110/non-member |
