SUMMARY:2024 Storyfest | South Carolina Writers Association | Columbia\, SC | Sept. 27-29
DESCRIPTION:I’ll be teaching a Magical Craft Masterclass at the 2024 Storyfest. This is a really wonderful conference\, one of the best I’ve attended in a long while. It’s geared toward genre authors\, but there’s a ton of good programming for literary folks. Last year was my first time going–I was invited to give a keynote\, which is how I heard about Storyfest. I truly enjoyed myself and met some wonderful people\, many of whom I’m still in contact with. So I worked hard to get invited back this year. I’m not giving a keynote but I am teaching a Masterclass on Friday from 1-3:30\, and the rest of the weekend I’ll have a table set up in the vendor’s area with copies of Craft & Current: A Manual for Magical Writing. If you decide to attend\, please stop by my booth and let’s have a chat.

SUMMARY:Workshop | Master the Flash | Sat\, July 27 | 9-12 am Eastern Time | Live via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:$55 | Saturday\, July 27\, 2024\, 9-12 am Eastern Time | Live via Zoom \nWriters with whom I’ve worked find almost instant success with the short form known as flash essay\, flash nonfiction\, or micro-memoir. I love teaching folks how to write these\, because this form can open doors to fabulous places. I got introduced to it only a few years ago\, and it has changed my life and my thinking. The short essay holds infinite possibilities for publishing—from a magazine-ready piece\, to a well-crafted social-media post\, to meaningful newsletter copy\, to a short chapter in a book. \nI’ll guide you in writing a short essay or two in one morning from the comfort of your own writing room or backyard. Make yourself a thermos of tea and Zoom with me from idea to finished product in a matter of a few hours. \nWHAT YOU GET: \n1. You get an inspired space to ship the work. \n2. You get Janisse to motivate you. \n3. You get a guide for every step of the way. \n4. You get to leave with a short essay that’s either ready or close to being ready. \n5. You get to feel like you did your job. \n6. You get useful handouts. \n7. You get publishing ideas. \n8. You get time to ask questions. \n9.You get to see other people\, like you\, working toward their goals & visions. \n10.You get to try your hand at the flash essay. \n  \nYou will receive a Zoom link for the workshop. Please note that participant numbers are not limited.

SUMMARY:Journaling Fools | 4 Sunday Sessions | July 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 | Live via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Register here. \nI’ve done a lot of foolish things in my life. Back in my early 20s\, for example\, I jumped out of an airplane. Of course I was wearing a parachute\, but still. I don’t think I’d do that again.\n*\nI’ve played the fool & been played as a fool.\n*\nFor the next 4 Sunday evenings in July I’ll be leading 1-hour journaling sessions on Fools. I’m excited to get a chance to examine this zany archetype within us all. The fool is often willing to speak honestly\, playfully\, and courageously. The fool often turns out to be the wise one.\n*\nQuestion–Do you think The Fool actually steps off the cliff because they’re looking away? It’s just a question.\n*\nEach session will have a theme\, and within those themes we’ll write about foolish things we’ve done\, foolish things we wish we’d done\, foolish things we’d like to do\, foolish ideas that stuck\, how we’re being environmental fools\, the times we’re fully alive\, and new\, wacky journeys we’re beginning. Yes\, us journaling fools.\n*\nFoolish Us\nFools for the Earth\nTomfoolery\nThe Fool’s Journey\n*\nThe sessions are 7-8 pm Eastern on July 7 | 14 | 21 | 28\, four Sundays in a row.\n*\nBest of all\, you choose the price. I do not jest.\n*\nRegister here.\n*\nEach session includes a short PowerPoint on some aspect of The Fool\, timed writing prompts\, time for reading aloud (if you want)\, juicy interaction in the Chat\, a joke or two.\n*\nCome with me & ye shall see:\nan increase in creative output.\na chance to generate AT LEAST 16 writing pieces that can be used alone or in a longer work.\n1 hour in the week JUST FOR YOU.\na good time. A fun\, cheerful\, encouraging vibe.\n*\nAs you can imagine\, one hour flies by. So have your journal and pencils ready.\n*\nAnd that skydive that I mentioned at the beginning of this post? I landed in a tree! For real. That was poetic justice\, wasn’t it?

SUMMARY:Meet the Author | SOLD OUT--Woods of Fannin | Georgia Writers Museum--SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:In the fall of 1945\, eight children\, brothers and sisters ranging in age from three months to ten years\, vanished from a rented bungalow in Morganton\, Georgia. They were taken by mule and wagon to a remote shack in the Blue Ridge foothills of Fannin County\, near the North Carolina line. For the next four years they would live mostly alone\, without mother or father\, roaming the mountains and valleys of what had been Cherokee Territory\, scouring for food and scrambling to take care of themselves and each other. \nAbout Janisse \nJanisse Ray grew up in a junkyard along U.S. Highway 1 near Baxley\, Ga. She is the author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood\, which won the American Book Award and other honors. Since Ecology she has published five books. \nThe Seed Underground: A Growing Revolution to Save Food came out from Chelsea Green Publishing in 2012. Most of her work is literary nonfiction and deals with the human relationship to nature. \nShe earned an MFA from the University of Montana and holds two honorary doctorates\, one from LaGrange College in LaGrange\, GA and one from Unity College in Unity\, ME. In 2016 she was inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame and in 2019 won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Georgia Writers Association. \nShe lives on an organic farm in Georgia. \nShe writes poetry and fiction in addition to creative nonfiction.
