The Art of the Chapbook II – Workshop
Chapbooks are an art and a craft. The format is increasingly popular in the indie lit world and a calling card for many respected poets. In this course, we will finish manuscripts for publication in chapbook form that are “market ready.” This six-week workshop will focus on student manuscripts in progress, offering in-class revision prompts, guided group feedback, and individual consultations with the facilitator.
This class is perfect for writers who already have six to twelve poems and may only need to generate a few new pieces to complete a chapbook. By workshop’s end, manuscripts will be polished and ready for market, complete with necessary title pages, table of contents, and acknowledgments.
