We'll discuss writing in the morning, the inner critic in the afternoon, and life in general over three meals a day in this exploration of what it takes to live creatively. Capped at 16 people (12 rooms) everyone will have 1:1 time with Neal, and no one will feel left out of the shared activities. This is a hands-on, experiential workshop.
Join bestselling author Anne Lamott and writer-spiritual coach Neal Allen for an inspiring and entertaining evening that will change the way you think about language. Based on their new book In Good Writing, this dynamic onstage presentation offers 36 powerful techniques for transforming worthy sentences into unforgettable ones.
Through lively conversation, humor, and a touch of creative tension, Anne and Neal will walk audiences through essential rules that can instantly elevate any piece of writing—be it a novel, blog post, essay, speech, or screenplay. With Neal’s sharply honed insights from a career in journalism and business, and Anne’s unmistakable wit and wisdom from Bird by Bird and her many bestsellers, the two explore both the fundamentals and nuances of great prose.
