When Writers Speak: Workshop with Miles Merrill
Event 99		print Print This Page
Writers have to do readings. Performers need great words. We’ve all seen a writer who publishes a great book but can’t engage a live audience. We’ve all seen performers who gesticulate but need stronger content.

This workshop combines powerful writing techniques with public speaking skills. From spoken-word to mighty page prose, book to stage, Miles Merrill helps you present your work in front of a crowd.

Duration: 3 hours

This workshop has a maximum capacity of 15 participants.
