Christine Sweet at The Loft in 2012!

I will teach a workshop for writers at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 1-4PM:

Reading Your Work in Public

Registration: www.loft.org

Whether you're about to embark on a book tour, are a member of a writing group, or just want to polish your reading-aloud skills, this class will help you take your writing "off the page" when you are called upon to read it in front of people. It's not a public-speaking course or a voice-acting workshop — it's about interpreting your written work for the ear in a way that is personal to you. We'll discuss and compare effective and not-so-effective reads, and practice using physical cues that you can internalize for public readings. It's all about making the process more enjoyable for you and your audience. Please bring a sample of your own writing, suitable for marking with pencil. Both prose and poetry are welcome.
