From Manuscript to Book

How to transform a set of poems into a book? Into an experience, a room, a landscape you can walk around inside? This workshop is designed to help writers view their poetry manuscripts clearly and refine their vision for the book they want to create. Through a series of exercises and frameworks, writers will clarify their own ideas using tools I developed to refine my own manuscripts. We’ll discuss book structures, titles, tones, themes, patterns, and style, as well as some publication basics. To bring: a copy of your manuscript, a list of books whose titles you love, and a list of books whose covers you love.
