March 22-24 2009 - The Creative Writer's Workshop

The Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation welcomes Irene Graham, founder of the internationally successful "The Creative Writer's Workshop", as she presents two 3-Day workshops. Throughout this workshop you will explore right brain/left brain techniques that will enhance your creativity as you discover and deepen your unique writing voice. The Fiction Writing workshop will be held March 19-21 from 10am-5pm and the Memoir writing workshop will be held March 22-24 from 10am-5pm. Registration for each workshop is $530 for SCHF members and $545 for non-members.

Fiction Writing is a very successful workshop for new and established writers. It does not matter whether the participant has written previously, has a concept in mind, or are published. The workshop will help the participant to start and continue writing. There are now many participants writing novels and short stories from completing this workshop.

Memoir Writing helps you discover and enhance your unique writing voice as you define your experiences and learn how to write from the heart of personal understanding. You will discover how to think like a writer and draw upon the myriad of incidents that make up your life story and path.

Irene Graham studied many genres of writing (screenwriting, fiction writing, writing for children, autobiographical writing) in the UCLA extension program in Los Angeles in the late 80's. Throughout this same period on the West Coast, Irene was also studying and partaking in various workshops and training programs based upon complimentary methods of learning – particularly right brain/left brain education and psycho synthesis in education. Upon completion of this two year study period of writing and educational studies, Irene created The Creative Writer's Workshop in 1991. The workshop has since been taught with great success to hundreds of both new and established writers, artists, teachers, young adults and children throughout Ireland.

Irene, writer of three screenplays, is also an art photographer, utilizing traditional photography methods. She lives in County Wicklow in Ireland and is currently writing a book of short stories and a screenplay.

Space is very limited and reservations are required. Payment for workshops must be paid in advance. For more information or to register, please email creativewriting@ireland.com or call the SCHF office at 601-631-2997.
