O-R to co-sponsor writing workshop
The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association Foundation and Observer Publishing Co. are co-sponsoring a regional writing workshop for working journalists, “Write Like Your Hair is on Fire,” from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. March 18 at the Cambria Suites Hotel, 451 Racetrack Road, Washington.
The workshop focuses on brightening and tightening your writing. Topics will include finding the appropriate level of detail; borrowing the devices of poetry (rhythm and repetition, metaphor and simile) to make your writing more musical and vivid; and creating immediacy through descriptions of sources, settings and actions.
Cost is $49 per person for PNA members and $79 for nonmembers. Lunch will be included.
To register, call Kathleen Landis at 717-703-3012. For more information, visit the PNA website, http://panewsmedia.org/Events.
