At the Main Library: Three Literary Series Starting in September 2009 @ the Charleston County Public Library

2009-08-05T13:36:00.011-04:00

Fiction Writing Group led by Jonathan Sanchez
Free at the Charleston County Public Library
Main Library at 68 Calhoun Street Charleston South Carolina

7 to 9 PM on the following Tuesdays

*September 8th 2009,

*October 13th 2009,

*November 3rd 2009,

*December 8th 2009

Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, Lowcountry Initiative for the Literary Arts,

and the Charleston County Public Library.

For further information, call 843-805-6930.

For all those closet novelists out there: bring your favorite pen and paper, your works-in-progress, and your fictive mind. During our recurring fiction workshop series we’ll learn new approaches to infuse our work with specifics, action and sensory images. Our two hours will be split with instruction and interactive exercises, questions and answers, and sharing of writing. The workshop will be a great chance to meet other writers -- breakout critique groups are encouraged. Designed to help writers at all levels, from beginning to professional.

Jonathan Sanchez was born in Gainesville, Fla., on April 28, 1973. He grew up in Charlotte, N.C., attended West Charlotte High School and then Yale University. He came to Charleston in 1996 to work for the The Post and Courier newspaper, which he left to pursue his fiction and poetry. He is a two-time-winner in the S.C. Fiction Project, was writer in residence at the Kerouac House in Orlando, and took first place in the College of Charleston math competition in 1988 (Geometry) and 1987 (Algebra 1). The owner of Blue Bicycle Books on King Street, he lives in uptown Charleston with his wife Lauren and their daughter Evelyn.

Thrillers with Heart: writing romance and suspense with CJ Lyons
Thrillers are hot! And romantic thrillers, thrillers with heart, are sizzling! What is the difference between mysteries and thrillers? How do you add romance without slowing down the pace? Explore the fascinating world of writing romance and suspense with National Bestselling author CJ Lyons.

As a pediatric ER doctor, CJ Lyons has lived the life she writes about. In addition to being an award-winning medical suspense author, CJ is a nationally known presenter and keynote speaker. Her first novel, Lifelines (Berkley, March 2008), received praise as a "breathtakingly fast-paced medical thriller" from Publishers Weekly, was reviewed favorably by the Baltimore Sun and Newsday, named a Top Pick by Romantic Times Book Review Magazine, and became a National Bestseller. Her second novel, Warning Signs, was released January, 2009 and the third, Urgent Care, is due out October, 2009. To learn more about CJ and her work, go to www.cjlyons.net

Sat. September 19th Main Library (10am-12)
Naming Names: Fiction Workshop with Jonathan Sanchez
Joseph Conrad said the task of the writer is “to make you hear, to make you feel – it is, before all, to make you see. That – and no more, and it is everything.” Join local writer Jonathan Sanchez for a two hour morning writing workshop Sat., Sept 19. We’ll use exercises to help us “name names” – base our writing on specific, sensory images and things rather than abstract ideas. The goal is for each of us to write something strange, something funny, something sincere, but most of all something that only we could have written.

Jonathan Sanchez was born in Gainesville, Fla., on April 28, 1973. He grew up in Charlotte, N.C., attended West Charlotte High School and then Yale University. He came to Charleston in 1996 to work for the The Post and Courier newspaper, which he left to pursue his fiction and poetry. He is a two-time-winner in the S.C. Fiction Project, was writer in residence at the Kerouac House in Orlando, and took first place in the College of Charleston math competition in 1988 (Geometry) and 1987 (Algebra 1).

September 22nd 2009 7pm

Thom Duncan does not trust himself when he either wears a tie or writes about himself in the third person. As a largely unemployable person, Mr. Duncan has been a caddy, stock boy, bellhop, cook, waiter, drug dealer, bartender, computer programmer, common laborer, t-shirt entrepreneur, photographer, filmmaker, truck driver, beneficiary of nepotism, and an occasional writer. Mr. Duncan is idealistic enough to believe that his quiet desperation can be overcome, though he admits it will most likely leave a scar.

Janice Fuller, Writer-in-Residence and Professor of English at Catawba College, has published three poetry collections, including Séance, winner of the 2008 Oscar Arnold Young Award. Her poems have appeared in numerous international magazines, including Magma and New Welsh Review. Her plays and libretti have been produced at Catawba’s Hedrick Theatre, BareBones Theater’s New Play Festival, the Minneapolis Fringe Festival, Estonia’s Polli Talu Centre, and France’s Rendez-Vous Musique Nouvelle.

Cassie Premo Steele, an award-winning poet and writer, lives in Columbia, SC. She is the author of four books: Moon Days, We Heal From Memory, Ruin, and My Peace. She has also published hundreds of poems, essays, and stories on the themes of mothering, nature, and creativity. Dr. Premo Steele currently she teaches courses in Ecofeminism and Ecopoetry at the University of South Carolina's Green Learning Center. Her recent writing focuses on poetry and the environment.
