Conversations and Connections Pittsburgh 2019: Practical Advice on Writing P

You’ve written a whole bunch of poems – but how do you turn those into a collection? Whether you’re working on a chapbook or a book, this workshop will provide you with practical tips and strategies for shaping your poems into a manuscript. We’ll talk about ordering poems, using sections (or not), and approaches to developing a theme or narrative across a collection. During the workshop you’ll try out several of those strategies, and the moderator will also provide resources that you can use moving forward. Bring a printed copy of your work in progress, and you’ll leave with revision ideas and next steps for moving toward publication.
