writing classes by Lori Tharps

I’m teaching two new classes this spring as part of my new creative writing platform, Read, Write, and Create!

  1. The Creative Writing Workshop

    This Creative Writing Workshop is specifically for BIPOC writers who are looking to develop a regular creative writing habit, improve their creative writing skills, and share their work in a safe and supportive writing community.

    Classes will include a combination of writing instruction, creative writing practice, and sharing your work is supportive environment. Writing exercises will offer students the opportunity to play with their words and experiment with fiction, creative nonfiction, personal essay and poetry. 

    Students will leave the class with new material and a sustainable writing practice.

    The Creative Writing Workshop is perfect for:

    New writers trying to find their niche

    Academic writers or journalists trying to transition into creative nonfiction or fiction

    Blocked writers looking for a way to re-ignite their writing life

    Good writers who wants to be great writers

    Classes meet on Saturdays from from 12:00 - 1:30pm 

    April 15-June 3, 2023.

2. How to Write a Nonfiction Book Proposal that Sells

I  am hosting a one- day intensive workshop on How to Write a Nonfiction Book Proposal open to all writers. If you want to get an agent and sell a nonfiction book to a mainstream publisher, you have to write a proposal first. And FYI, memoirs are considered nonfiction, so even if you’re writing a memoir, you need a proposal to sell it. 

In this intensive workshop, I’ll give you the exact template I’ve used to craft nonfiction book proposals for myself and my clients. (By the way, the last two proposals I wrote netted my clients six and seven figure book deals respectively.) In addition, I will:

  • Walk you through the Nonfiction Book Proposal Template

  • Show you how to Customize your nonfiction book proposal so it attracts agents and editors

  • Break down the best practices in proposal writing

  • Share my tips and tricks for writing the best competitive analysis for your proposal

  • Walk you through the process of how to get an agent with your well-written proposal

By the end of this intensive workshop, participants will have the outline for their very own nonfiction book proposal, as well as the roadmap to finding an agent and selling their book.
