Dzanc Books: National Workshop Day
Comments (0) 
On Saturday, April 9, 2011, Dzanc Books will hold its second annual National Workshop Day, better known as Dzanc Day. Consisting of dozens of creative writing workshops in almost as many cities, Dzanc Day provides local, affordable two-to-four hour sessions led by professional writers, authors, and editors, all open to attendance by the public for a very affordable fee. Sessions are conducted in fiction, poetry, and non-fiction, and are generally suitable for writers of all levels. Information about individual locations and session descriptions can be found by browsing either the map or the list of states at the website.
In addition to being a great way for participants to receive instruction, get inspired, and meet other local writers, Dzanc Day also helps to partially fund many charitable endeavors, including the Dzanc Prize, which recognizes one writer annually for both literary excellence and service to his or her community, and the Writer in Residence Program, which places professional writers into classrooms to provide creative writing instructions to public school students who could not otherwise afford the opportunity. It’s thanks to the workshop leaders’ generous donations of their time and talents that Dzanc Books is able to continue to support and grow these programs. Signing up for Dzanc Day will ensure their success in the future.
This year, Dzanc Day falls on Saturday, April 9, 2011. Workshops start at just $30 for two hours of instruction.
