Shop Talk

In workshops and writing groups, I try to listen as much as I talk. I learn a lot that way! Lectures are different, though. They give me an opportunity to research and think about particular craft issues that interest me and the student writers I teach at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. In the hope these talks might help you be the best writer you can be, I’m glad to reprint or include the audio files of selected lectures here. Just click on the link to the talk you want to read or listen to.
