Cate Berry is taking six students for her upcoming creative writing workshop starting in February (through May). Writers of memoir, essays, short stories, general fiction and children’s literature are all welcome. Each week writers may read up to 7 double spaced pages. We will discuss and explore what is exciting, authentic and “true” within each writer’s own voice. Long projects and short projects welcome. Environment will be writer-friendly with an intent towards publishing. $300/month. Four month commitment encouraged.
Ms. Berry is a traditionally published author (Harper Collins/MacMillan) who holds an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She has presented multiple times at the Texas Book Festival, West Texas Book Festival, Association for Writers and Writing Programs, The Writer’s League of Texas and many organizations, libraries and schools nationwide. She served as editor for Bushel and Peck Books and was the humor columnist for five years with Austin Family Magazine. Teaching and watching students succeed is her Achilles heel.
“Cate provided expert editorial feedback and recommendations to one of my manuscripts and, thanks to her help, it was purchased by a top 5 publisher!” –Micheal B.
“Cate draws from her vast MFA knowledge of craft as well as the business of publishing. She has the unique ability of being both a great teacher and a joy to work with!”– Kris K.
