SUMMARY:Ploughshares Master Class 2/13
DESCRIPTION:The Ploughshares Master Class Series at the Writer’s Room of Boston is a five-week evening series for emerging and established writers alike.

Writers across genres will leave with fresh drafts and practical craft tools. Excellent work generated by attendees in these sessions will be considered for publication on the Ploughshares blog. \nUsing Ploughshares’ nonfiction-only Fall 2012 issue as inspiration\, Ploughshares reader Ciera Miller leads a generative workshop\nexploring personal\, visual\, and fragmented nonfiction forms. Participants will experiment with nontraditional structures and leave\nwith fresh approaches to writing nonfiction. \n$12\, $5 for low income/students. Free for members/fellows of the Room.
