Pat Conroy Literary Center – Beaufort, SC

Writers looking to hone their skills often look to area writing conferences for help. Usually, these conferences offer workshops that discuss the various issues writers face. While many of these conferences offer plenty for fiction writers, nonfiction writers get largely ignored. To help alleviate the problem, Bell has put together a workshop aimed specifically toward writers of nonfiction. This two-hour virtual workshop will cover many issues that nonfiction writers need to know. Participants will receive handout via email and Bell provides his personal email address in case questions arise after the workshop. Participants are encouraged to contact Bell should such questions arise.

Tuesday, November, 17; 6:00-8:00 p.m. $45/person. Limited to 15 participants.

This workshop will be held as an online video conference call through Zoom. Details for joining the video call will be provided to all participating writers after registering. Course materials will be provided as email attachments.
