I want to send you all a personal enthusiastic recommendation for two fantastic writing workshops that are going on this Saturday morning right here in Montclair at the Unitarian Church’s Muse in Montclair event.

I took novelist Martin Roper’s amazing The First Page workshop last year and found it truly inspirational and extremely helpful.  Roper will help you create the best possible first page for your novel, story, or memoir.  And if you heard Amy Einhorn, publisher of “The Help,” tell the audience at the Montclair Adult School last month that she decides whether or not to pursue a book based on reading only the first page, you’ll know why you need Roper’s distinctive class.

This year I’m taking MEWSie JOE SUTTON’S Playwriting Workshop. Joe is a Pulitzer-nominated and widely produced playwright who also teaches at Dartmouth.  I thrilled at this opportunity to study drama with him and, really, you should be too.

The cost is $60 for each workshop, the time is 9 a.m. till noon, and you can register and pay online.  Looking forward to seeing you there!
