SWW Storyteller

Workshops

SouthWest Writers offers workshops to advance the skills and marketability of writers. Experienced instructors guide participants through lecture, example and, often, critique to increase the quality of their writing.

What is the difference between a class and a workshop? A class is more than one session and usually includes assignments to be completed outside of class. A workshop is one session, and any work required of the students is done during the workshop session.

Workshops are located at the new SouthWest Writers office at Carlisle Executives Offices, 3200 Carlisle Blvd NE, Suite 114, Albuquerque, NM 87110.

Frustrated by social media? Want to promote your creative work, but not sure how to start? This workshop will describe the basic concepts of social media and will show you techniques for building and maintaining an effective platform. We'll discuss how to get organized, the crucial elements of success, and practical ways to build a customer base. We'll even talk about what NOT to do. You'll leave equipped to set up the basic foundations of your platform and will be given information, resources, and recommended reading to assist you during your new adventure.

Robin Kalinich leads Ink & Alchemy and More Ink, both dedicated to promoting creative endeavors and building communities which support and enable those who create. Visit her website at www.robinkalinich.com.

New Workshop and Class Refund Policy

To ensure that SouthWest Writers can cover the cost of space rental, meals, and instructor fees, we have implemented a new workshop and class refund policy. If you cancel one week before the workshop or class beginning date you will receive a full refund. Cancellations after one week prior up to 24 hours prior to the beginning of the workshop or class will receive a credit only toward a future workshop or class of your choice. If you do not cancel or don't show up for the workshop or class you will receive no refund and no credit. For multi-session classes, if you miss a class, you receive no refund. We pay our instructors based on how many students enroll, so you are part of that roll count if you don't cancel as detailed above.
