What does it take to lead a creative life every day? New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg will offer a workshop on how to carve out a creative life for yourself. The author of seven novels and the 2022 memoir I Came All This Way To Meet You, as well as the new motivational creativity book 1000 Words: A Writer's Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Round, Jami is a “writer’s writer,” with decades of experience in pursuit of a creative life.
This workshop will share ideas and perspectives for putting your own creativity first: How can writers best serve their own creative processes? Where do you go for inspiration? How important is community to our writing lives? And how can you create a life in this business of art?
This workshop will include a talk, a writing prompt with a group write-along. Jami will also explain the development of the worldwide literary movement #1000wordsofsummer. And bring your questions, too! This will be a welcoming and collaborative environment.
Books are available for pre-order from San Marco Books and More and a limited number will be available to purchase on-site.
