The Wordsmith Seminar
Instructor: Christin Eve Cato
Designed as a focused and generative space, the seminar supports writers developing full-length or feature-length material through guided discussion, page sharing, and disciplined writing practice.
Across the semester, writers will participate in 8 weekly discussions on craft, personal mythology, and ethics. The seminar is designed to help writers reexamine their writing voices and develop a deeper understanding of how their personal philosophical and ethical beliefs lay the foundation for their storytelling.
