Kick off 2010 with Thurber House’s Winter Adult Writing Workshops!

Have you been working on a novel or short stories and want some critical attention from a pro? Or maybe you’re deep into a memoir and need that little extra something to finish it? Then the 2010 Winter Adult Writing Workshops may be the answer to your New Year wishes!

Beginning February 1 and running six consecutive Mondays until March 8, there are two new Adult Writing Workshops:

Personal Memoir Writing taught by bestselling author D.G. Fulford
Intermediate Fiction Workshop taught by Ohioana Book Award winner, Terri Paul.

These classes are not for beginners. They’re intensive workshops for adults 18 and up, and classes are limited to guarantee personal attention to your work.

Deadline for registration is Monday, January 25, 2010.

For details about time, cost, class content and teachers, and to download a registration form, go to: wwew.thurberhouse.org.

Back to blogging

Thurber House has been going through some changes and unfortunately this meant a hiatus from the blog. But now with a new house administrator (me), the blog is up and running again!

I’d like to introduce myself to the Thurber blogging community. I’m Tricia Fairman, a recent graduate from the Ohio State University School of Music. I have a music education degree, and have a bit of experience working in arts administration. I love doing the behind-the-scenes work that needs to happen for events.

Tony Horwitz and me at last Friday's Evening with Authors

I am a pretty good violinist and Irish fiddler. I’m working on getting a group together to play out, but right now I’m satisfied playing in the Shamrock Club and Claddagh Irish music sessions every week.  Along with violin I know how to play piano, guitar, flute, tin whistle, trombone, saxophone, viola, cello, upright bass, trumpet, bassoon, oboe, and tuba.

I’ve been at Thurber House for three weeks now and have greatly enjoyed my time. I look forward to updating the blog and informing you on the great events we have coming up!
