Let your writing be inspired by the secret itineraries of Tuscia
PETER SELGIN Narrative Prose Writing Workshop in June 2010,at Centro Pokkoli
Cari Amici,
This coming June I will be leading my third
annual writing workshop in Vitorchiano,
Italy. This one-week workshop offers a great opportunity to focus on your
creative work in a stunning setting--a walled
medieval village in the rugged, hazelnut-tree lined
hills north of Rome. In addition to the
workshop, seminars and one-on-one tutorials,
we'll visit lovely Italian gardens, castles,
and picturesque towns. A week of
beauty, inspiration, free-flowing wine, food,
and conversation.
Whether your focus is fiction or nonfiction,
memoir or novel, I hope you'll take advantage
of this opportunity to enjoy the beauty and
culture of Italy while working on your writing.
Participants will also receive an advance
copy of THE SECRET LIFE OF FICTION: 199
Meditations for Writers, my new writing book,
distilling the wisdom of dozens of writers
workshops, with meditations on everything
from titles to settings, to the historical
uses (and abuses) of autobiography in literature.

Hope to see you there,
Peter Selgin Thank you for the wonderful Pokkoli experience. I can only begin to imagine how much work it took to set up all the wonderful trips and comfortable accommodations that you provided for us. Artemio and his staff at the Piccola Opera Hotel were outstanding and the Centro Pokkoli House was the most charming and intimate space for us to share our work. And our final dinner (not to say Last Supper) was a wonderful surprise. That whole evening is a little jewel of a moment in our busy schedule. Oddly enough, it was our most romantic moment even though we shared it with a dozen other people. All your efforts are greatly appreciated by both myself and my husband.
