The Writers' Toolbox

A generative and editorial-based workshop aimed at more experienced writers. Using prompts, games, and writer-based workshop techniques, participants will be guided through a series of "rules" and "protocols" to supply the editorial tools necessary for refining and improving first drafts. Because this is both a generative course and a critical workshop, participants should bring an existing work to draw on. Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer's books include All the Broken Things, and Perfecting. The Nettle Spinner was shortlisted for the Amazon First Novel Award while Way Up was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award. Kathryn has taught creative writing at the University of Toronto, and King's College and lives in Prince Edward County. This event is sponsored by the University of King's College Halifax.
