CWC High Desert Branch
Presents the Book Architecture Workshop
in Hesperia, CA
Saturday, September 30, 2023
The High Desert Branch of the California Writers Club announces a special workshop by Stuart Horwitz in the Percy Bakker Conference Center in Hesperia, CA, 9333 “E” Ave. The event takes place from 10:30am to 3:30pm.
Starting with the premise of “Finish your book in three drafts: crafting fiction and creative non-fiction with the Book Architecture Method,” this workshop will introduce writers to a process for organization and revision that includes in-depth exercises to complete throughout the day so that attendees leave with a new perspective on their book’s core, its structure, and where the work of revision lies most clearly. The workshop assumes nothing of a writer’s previous knowledge of technique, nor how much of their manuscript is complete.
Horwitz’s clients have reached the best-seller list in both fiction and non-fiction, and have appeared on Oprah!, The Today Show, and in the most prestigious journals in their fields. The program’s admission price does not include lunch. For details, visit hdcwc.com.
