The Art of the Sentence Workshop
Saturday November 15, 2008
1:30–4:00 p.m.
Listel Hotel
1300 Robson St., Vancouver
Good writing begins with good sentences and Stephen Osborne knows where to find them and how to write them. Learn about good verbs and bad verbs, and even those pesky adverbs. Bring along a sharp pencil and you’ll leave with some great sentences in your pocket.
Stephen Osborne is editor-in-chief of Geist magazine.
Comments from workshop participants:
“A great tune-up—this workshop got me writing again!”
“The combination of lecture and workshop, along with great examples and anecdotes, was intensely thought-provoking.”
“I am a writing instructor at Vancouver Film School and I immediately began using techniques I learned in the workshop for my own classes.”
“Osborne is very articulate—and funny!”
“The whole workshop made me excited about writing and reading.”
