Event Description: FLEX # 602.2
The workshop schedule also features poets Kiara Koenig, Sarah Pape, and Susan Wooldridge, novelist David Sundstrand and flash fiction writer Chella Courington, and songwriter Jeremy Gerrard, amongst many others. Last year’s conference attracted over 150 students, faculty and community members, and this year—our 5th anniversary—we anticipate an even greater turnout.
Workshops offer insights and ideas on the writing craft from those working in the field today. Our intimate setting provides opportunities for both novice and experienced writers to network with other writers and workshop leaders. As Chico State student Brite Cheney said of his experience, "WordSpring is an invaluable resource to anyone looking to improve or even get started writing."
Butte College student and writer Cale Castro adds, “A realm of possibility unfolds when an aspiring poet or storyteller seeks advice from like-hearted professionals. WordSpring allows aspiring writers to attain such advice in a familiar classroom environment.”
WordSpring is located at the Butte College main campus, set amidst a large and beautiful nature preserve. A light breakfast and buffet lunch are included in the registration cost – $65 for community members and $40 for students. The conference is sponsored by the Butte College English Department and is in part supported by donations, student equity funding, and Butte College Associated Students.
