The One-Day Workshop
I
offer a one-day workshop based on two of the most popular
sections of my ten-week course. Although the one-day workshop
does not provide the supportive structure of the ten-week
course or the one-week workshop, which actually enable students
to produce prose for publication, this workshop is an affordable
alternative for institutions. I do not currently offer this
workshop to individuals; rather I give it at the request
of universities or research institutions.
In
general, I hold this workshop on a Friday or Saturday from 10 to around 12:30
and 2:00 to around 4:30. In the morning, we address writing anxieties
and habits through discussion and writing exercises; in the afternoon, we address ways
to avoid the most common mistakes that scholarly authors
make when submitting articles to journals and do some argument exercises. There is an enrollment
cap of thirty. Participants should arrive with a particular
paper in mind that they would like to revise for publication.
