The Writer's Journey Outside In and Back Again A Pacfica Public Program

The Writer’s Journey
Outside In and Back Again

14 Insightful Sessions Exploring the Intricacies
and Infinite Possibilities of the Writer’s Experience
Friday, April 26 to Sunday, April 28, 2013
Pre-conference Workshops Friday, April 26

We are all writers in one form or another. The need to express ourselves is essential to our survival. The written word allows us to take what is hidden below the threshold of waking consciousness and shape it into a form of expression that delights, persuades, informs, and teaches others. Whether correspondence with a loved one, a dream in a diary, a final paper to graduate, an imaginative story, a poem, a textbook, or a life’s opus, writing is a vehicle to manifest the intangible into a tangible expression of who we are.

This conference will feature scholars, educators, mythologists, poets, psychoanalysts, and best-selling authors covering topics both conceptual and pragmatic—from birthing an idea to marketing through creative messaging…from the feminine heroic quest to writing as a way of healing…from the call of the muse to turning a dissertation into a mainstream book. Genres explored will include screenwriting, storytelling, imaginative writing, memoir, poetry, and clinical writing, among others.
