Rosie Jackson | Creative Writing - all levels tutor

Rosie Jackson — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:06:25 +0000

I've been running popular writing workshops for 20 years, in UK, Europe, Skyros, and US at Writers' Centre Washington D.C. I also work individually mentoring and helping people get published or take their writing to new levels.

In The Writing Life, Annie Dillard asks `Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed?... We still and always want waking...'

I inspire and encourage writing in this vein - prose fragments, short stories, novels, creative non-fiction, poetry, all genres...

Whatever the medium, if it can be written, I've probably done it.

I can work with individual writers on specific projects and have significant editorial experience. I’m most at home with fiction (long and short forms) and creative nonfiction – usually of a biographical or autobiographical bent.
