Serious Learning for Serious Writers Who Want to Get Published Pen to Press Retreats are five intense, hands-on, inspiring days that teach participants how to shape and present a saleable manuscript. You'll learn in a variety of settings, from workshops to one-on-one mentoring sessions to seminars. To that end, you will write and revise, have your manuscript critiqued, and revise some more. This is a remarkable opportunity to transform your writing! To top it off, throughout the last two days of each retreat, Pen to Press participants are given exclusive, one-on-one time with agents and editors to whom they can pitch their work!

Women Playwrights’
Initiative Presents
3rd Annual
Playwriting Workshop May 31-June 1, 2008 Women Playwrights' Initiative (WPI) announces its next Playwriting Workshop, led by award-winning writer Deborah Brevoort. The Workshop, May 31-June 1, 2008, will be held at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., WPI’s third partnership with Rollins and its Department of Theatre. The Workshop for women playwrights, titled “Writing the Main Character,” will explore how writers can make main characters more compelling, according to the New Jersey-based playwright who also lead the 2007 WPI Workshop. Last year’s workshop participants raved about their experience. Comments included: “The Workshop was a nurturing and constructive venue for women,” and “I now see the value of knowing what is and isn’t possible for actors to do.” Brevoort’s lengthy credits include Blue-Sky Boys – a fantasy about the heavenly heroes who inspired the engineers of the first Apollo moon mission. A workshop production of the play was Brevoort’s first appearance at PlayFest 2008 – The Harriett Lake Festival of New Plays in Orlando. She calls it her “first accidental script.” Brevoort is well-known as the author of The Women of Lockerbie, which was produced Off-Broadway in 2003 and in London in 2005. In late 2008, it is slated to tour for two years, produced by Tim Robbins’ Actors Gang in L.A. For more information about the Workshop, contact Jennifer Cavenaugh, Associate Professor in Theatre, who is producing the event for WPI: 407-691-1268 or email her at jcavenaugh@Rollins.edu. |
