Making a GOOD Writer GREAT

A Creativity Workshop

Saturday, May 22, 2004

Featuring:

Linda Seger, PhD (Making a Good Script Great,The Art of Adaptation, Web Thinking, Creating Unforgettable Characters)

Plus:

Barbara Nicolosi

Tom Provost

Join Hollywood insiders Linda Seger, Tom Provost and Barbara Nicolosi for an intensive, day-long workshop focused on the writer as artist.

What’s holding you back? If you want to be more than just a competent writer, a firm grasp of craft is not enough. A writer needs something extra to take his talent to the next level — to create work that is truly original and meaningful.

Learn to think and work more creatively.

This unique workshop will cover such pivotal creative concepts as nonlinear thinking, visual thinking, metaphorical thinking, oppositional thinking and utilizing one’s unconscious mind.

Learn how a mature faith can improve your writing — and how an immature faith can hinder it .

The Christian writer should have a leg up on greatness. So why are non-Christian writers often better than Christian writers? The workshop will examine how Christians tend to let faith play the wrong role in their writing, and we will attempt to define its proper place in the work of the artist. Finally, we’ll take a look at the works of Flannery O’Connor, one of the great Christian writers.

The Making a Good Writer Great workshop is for novelists, screenwriters, and playwrights at any level of experience.

Take your writing to the next level.

“Dr. Seger humanizes the writing process by acknowledging the role that psychology, our personal stories, and our personal spirituality play in our work.” — Linda Woolverton (screenwriter, Beauty and the Beast; co-screenwriter, The Lion King)

“Linda’s technique is a light to see by.” — Ray Bradbury
