A Day of Writing for All Kinds of Writers, Exploring the Art of Language! This year’s theme is: The Power of Words & The Writer’s Conscience.

Join 6 local writers on Saturday, September 9th from 9am to 5pm at the Guild Gallery & Art Center, for a series of interactive workshops aimed to actively inspire your own literary practice!

The 2023 Keynote Speaker will be Paul Fattig, lifelong Illinois Valley resident and Marine Corps Veteran. After graduating from the University of Oregon in 1979 with a degree in journalism, Paul pursued a career as a print journalist for 40 years which included stints at the Daily Courier and the Mail Tribune in Medford. Upon retiring in 2013 to write books, he is now writing his fourth book! In addition to his keynote, Paul Fattig will be presenting “Tapping into One’s Roots: A Workshop in Non-Fiction Prose.” Following the keynote will be three 90-minute sessions, each with a choice of two separate workshops, for a total of six different presentations. Facilitators will provide inspiration and support while guiding attendees to create their own fresh writing.

Let’s Write about it: A Personal Essay Workshop”; Gary Lark with “Taking My Self to Work”; Michael Spring with “Into the Surreal: Creating Poems with Pliable Dreamscapes.”
