a podcast and television series. The Warren Report promotes "slow culture" through commentary, outreach,
events and education. Our principle: Smarter audiences make a better world!
With last year’s inaugural season of How To Write Like I Do, we discovered that Seattle is full of folks who wish to write like someone else…and they did in writing exercises led by writing luminaries such as John Moe, Kathleen Alcala, Ryan Boudinot and Garth Stein, and even a drawing luminary, David Lasky.
The series was so successful we’re doing it again, and we’re raising the price a teeny bit. Let’s just get that piece of information out of the way. Why are we doing this? Because, well, because people said to us after they had attended a workshop or two, “I can’t believe you are charging so little!” But even more importantly, we’re doing it because 100 percent of the profits from these workshops go to support the work of 826 Seattle.
Yes, let me repeat: 100 percent.
By participating in 826 Seattle’s How to Write Like I Do series you are, essentially, doing your part to promote worldwide harmony and to end war. And, during it all, you’ll be enjoying the wit and wisdom of people like John Roderick (songwriter) and Ellen Forney (cartoonist) and Bharti Kirchner (novelist).
Are you game?
Each workshop is only $30 (tax included) and for that you get to spend two hours with local and national writing luminaries, learning their secrets. You also get to have books signed by said luminaries and drink coffee with them. You will be able to say things like, “Oh yes, I’ve had coffee with Elizabeth Kostova, you know, the author of that best-selling novel The Historian. Why, yes, she did fly all the way out from Ashville, North Carolina just for this workshop. I’ll never forget it.”
Sign up now. Just remember: space is limited and last year, most workshops sold out.
We’ve all seen them, documentaries built on boring, lifeless interviews. We’ve all read them, profiles that don’t even hint at the motives of the person behind the story. Warren Etheredge has spent a career interviewing filmmakers, authors and ordinary people both on screen and in print and has an uncanny ability bring out insights his subjects never imagined they’d share. During this program Warren offers structures, tips and strategies to turn mundane questioning into the art of…conversing. It is an art that Warren has honed in more than 1,000 professional interviews.
