Imagination: A Writers' Workshop and Conference

The Conference and Workshops - July 13 to 18 Mather Mansion, Cleveland 
State University
This is a writing conference about strong, imaginative writing, from 
minimal to magical realism, from new journalism to science fiction, from 
poetry to memoir to the novel to playwriting.  It includes classes and 
workshops without genre bias or boundaries, courses about distinctive 
creative writing, period.

Afternoon WORKSHOPS (Wed. through Sun.) are small and each group works in 
turn with every workshop leader.  Moreover, during the week each student 
meets in an individual conference with a second faculty member, carefully 
going over his or her work for a second opinion.

Morning CLASSES, LECTURES and DISCUSSIONS address the practice, theory and 
politics of writing as well as issues of craft and those techniques weaving 
imagination and innovation into some of the best contemporary 
writing.  Each morning ends with a reading.

Conference lectures, panels and readings are open to all applicants, but 
enrollment in each of the workshops is limited.  Workshop admission is, 
therefore, based on writing samples.  We will admit participants as we 
receive promising submissions.  Consequently, submitting early provides a 
measure of advantage.

Colloquium on "The Business of Writing" - July 17
The conference will incorporate a one-day colloquium on the nuts and bolts 
of writing for publication.  This part of the conference can also be 
registered for separately.  Experienced editors, publishers and an agent 
will discuss the business and politics of publication in the U. S., 
including the logistics of submission; finding a market, an agent, a 
publisher; working with editors; financial arrangements; and the economics 
of publishing.

Faculty
This year's all-Ohio faculty features writer/teachers from four Northeast 
Ohio universities: poets, fiction and creative non-fiction writers,and for 
the first time a playwright.  It's time to recognize our strong community 
of Ohio writers and join in and learn from some of the best at this year's 
Imagination.
