TUSCANY, ITALY:  PERALTA WRITING COURSE 15-22 May, 2010

INSTRUCTOR.

COURSE DETAILS:

Writers at any level are invited to participate.  Numbers are small enough so that we can fine-tune the course depending on individual requirements and experience.

The week will include fiction/nonfiction workshops; one-on-one meetings with instructors, daily scheduled discussion of story telling and narrative structure with back-up writing exercises; 'free writing' projects in class for 'loosening up.'

We also plan a forum relevant to the publishing industry (Publishers, agents, marketing, self publishing) and, for those interested, a discussion of on-line publications, blogs, writing sites etc.

Peralta is a tiny mountain hamlet set among olive groves and vineyards, with a Saracen fort up the hill, Etruscan walls, a swimming pool carved out of the rock, and a view over the Ligurian Sea.

Included in the cost are three delicious meals each day prepared by a local chef, pick up from selected flights in Pisa, and an excursion to the medieval walled city of Lucca.

Peralta is a half hour drive from Lucca, forty-five minutes from Pisa, and one hour from Florence.

Numbers are limited and an early sign up is strongly recommended.
