Workshops and Seminars - What's the Difference?

Sometimes people tell me they don't understand the difference when I talk about a workshop or a seminar at Fall Writerfest. A workshop meets every morning. You preregister for one of the five workshops (play writing, creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, or work-in-progress). You will hear from your instructor before you get to Pyramid and you will be in that workshop with that instructor for the full program. Each workshop is limited to eight participants. The seminars meet once after lunch and you attend on a walk-in basis. Anyone attending Fall Writerfest can attend any or all of the seminars. We will be offering at least one of these each day on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We may offer as many as six, in two time slots, one after the other over the three days.

The workshops and the presenters are already announced on this blog; people are registering for them now. The seminars will be announced around August 12, one month before the program begins. Once you are registered and paid in full for Fall Writerfest through the Pyramid Life Center, you can enroll in a workshop by telling me (at EllieOLeary@gmail.com) which one you want. You do not need to pick a seminar until the day it is being presented and you decide whether or not you want to walk-in.
