WV Writers Fall Conference: Presenting a Workshop





Tomorrow! Looking forward to presenting this workshop with my friend Janet Smart.

Black Dogs and Horse Collars: Folklore, Superstition, and the Writer - Folk beliefs are a strong element of Appalachian culture. People often quote weather proverbs, plant by the signs and use folk remedies even as they interact in the modern world of technology and social media. Folklore is integral to who we are and where we come from, and can add humor, suspense and anticipation to stories, articles and poetry. This workshop that explores the role of folklore and superstition in our lives and how old lore can add depth to characters and deepen a sense of place in any written work. This class is intended for poetry, prose, and creative nonfiction writers.
