Lighthouse LitFest: Research As Writerly Practice (online)
An online class taught through Lighthouse Writers’ Annual LitFest:
Friday June 7, 2024 9:00am - 11:00am MDT
Are you working on a nonfiction project? The myth of artistic genius often suggests that inspiration is mainlined from the heavens and that one's imagination is the only creative source. And yet, it's often an inquiry into the world outside of ourselves that offers the most potent inspiration. How can research serve as a generative practice and a portal to the written word? This seminar will support nonfiction writers in incorporating rich factual inquiry into current or future nonfiction projects, rendering research into luminous prose, and creating a research roadmap moving forward.

Lighthouse LitFest: Deep Revision - A Two Day Intensive On Using the Revision Process to Fall in Love with Your Work Again
An online, 2-Day Intensive taught through Lighthouse Writers’ Annual LitFest
Monday June 10, 2024 & Tuesday, June 1th, 4:00pm - 7:00pm MDT
It's easy to get stuck on a draft and not know where to go next—or even to despair that there's nowhere else to go. Revision, though, can be less of a dutiful task and more of an alchemical process of discovery that helps us bring our writing back to life and ourselves along with it. Through a combination of readings, exercises, and discussions, this course will offer insight and strategies toward revision that help writers better understand their own work and what they are trying to do—and that can help them fall back in love with their projects.
