July 31 the Creamery Writers' Workshop will host Katie Pollock, editor of 417 Magazine. Topics covered this week include:
• guidelines for submitting resumes and clips for freelance consideration
• information about what a magazine looks for in freelancers (skills, etc.)
• tips for freelancing/magazine writing in general
• list and explanation of the different departments within 417 Magazine and what writing opportunities are available in each section
• the reporting/writing/creativity balance in magazine work — and how to focus your work for a city/regional magazine
• how to make your editor love you and want to work with you
The Creamery Writers' Workshop meets every Thursday night in the Creamery and is free and open to all writers regardless of genre or age. The first Thursday of each month, writers may bring up to three double-spaced typed pages to read aloud for gentle feedback and the third Thursday of each month is always devoted to writing impromptu "excercises". For further information, contact the sponsoring agency, The Springfield Regional Arts Council, 417-862-ARTS(2787) or email Sandra@SpringfieldArts.org. The CWW is funded in part by the Missouri Arts Council and the U.S. Dept. of Education.
