The Bradbury Trio Course is beginning September 8th and I would love for you to join us!
Where did this idea come from??
Raymond Bradbury shared his 1000 day MFA strategy in a speech years ago: to read a story, a poem, and an essay every day for 1000 days.
Since 2016, I consistently follow this program with direct outcomes to my drafts.
I created this 12-week course to inspire and share what I have learned with other writers to help them improve their writing and processes in a community.
For you, I curate well-rounded readings, provide immersive writing assignments, and provide a community for motivation and fun.
I teach you to curate personal taste readings systematically to continue the process long after the course is over.
I invite you to sit at the table with us!
The vision I see is a virtual dinner party. We gather around a large dining room table feasting on words and conversation. Some dishes may become your new favorites but you will not like the taste of every dish. Opinions will be strong and I will teach you how to harness that passion!
You are welcome to show up how you are.
You belong just by being enrolled. Each person's experience and insight add to the gathering for everyone.
WHAT HAVE YOU READ THAT RESONATES WITH YOU LATELY?
One of the ways I refuel my creativity is to read. Writers tend to replenish this way. My reading influences my writing. I can also tell when I allow this practice to slide.
I believe GOOD WORDS IN = GOOD WORDS OUT
I can help you see your writing and reading through a new lens.
In my experience teaching writers of all ages over 28 years I have used mentor texts, or study stories, to provide exemplars of techniques to deepen and enrich your writing. Reading closely [and sometimes slowly] allows you to learn from each piece and apply it to new writing. It is play with words!
GOALS
This course is tailored to individual goals. You may want to have a collection of stories or poems by the end of 12 weeks. You may want to write one short story. Or you may want to keep a reading journal with your own reflections and life experiences braided in.
This course is for you no matter what your goal.
This 12 -week course will begin on September 8, 2024
Registration begins today! [You can email me right now and enroll and stop reading if you like: bradburytriocourse@gmail.com]
The 12 weeks are a toggle between a Reading Week and a Writing Week.
All the readings are brand new to this version!
Bi-Weekly Readings: You will receive an email every other Sunday with 5 days of curated material. You will receive 5 poems, 5 stories, and 5 essays and some bonus materials and challenges some weeks.
There is a mixture of short and long form pieces. Readings can be internet links, PDFs or Google Docs.
The reading requires approximately 2.5 hours per week plus reflection time for the reading journal.
Think of these reading weeks as a personal reading residency. Set up a special ritual reading time with a specific drink or place. It can be the excuse you need to read during the day!
Bi-Weekly Writing Assignment: The writing assignment is a response to the readings. Weekly assignments will be due on Fridays.
During the twelve weeks, each writer will be assigned a slot within a live meeting for workshop feedback from the group. Feedback is given live and will follow a specific format. Written feedback will be optional.
A Doodle poll will help determine the best time for everyone to join live meetings.
Slack will be used for discussion and sharing in addition to email.
Bonus material: Bonus readings and writing assignments may be assigned, but not required.
NEW OFFER!! Do you want additional coaching and accountability?
One-on-one coaching in addition to the base material will be available as an add on.
Meet with me bi-weekly to discuss the readings and the assignment at length. This offer will help you achieve your personal goal for the course.
