FOR OUR FUTURE AUTHORS?

As many of our customers are asking for information about expanding their horizons, we thought you might be interested in the following from Curry College.

Blue Hills Writing Institute at Curry College has an expanded selection of workshops and classes planned for the coming spring and summer months.

· Allan Hunter is teaching a new short workshop on May 31 and June 7 called “Writing Using the Power of the Archetypes Within You,” based on his new book Stories We Need to Know: Reading Your Life Path in Literature (Findhorn Press, 2008, ISBN 978-1-84409-123-2). This workshop will meet from 9:00 a.m-4:00 p.m. and the cost is $320.
