Cape Eleuthera Workshops
Fiction Writing with Richard Bausch
April 8-15, 2012 at the Island School, Cape Eleuthera, Bahamas
The week-long workshop sponsored by the Cape Eleuthera Writers & Artist Workshop Series will bring together a small group of adults interested in fiction writing to the Cape Eleuthera Island School campus to work with celebrated author, Richard Bausch. Participants will further develop their writing by receiving expert feedback on their own manuscripts in a safe and constructive environment as well as by engaging in writing exercises, by considering issues of craft and of the writing life, and ultimately by cultivating a community based upon the shared love of writing.
?Sense of place,? a concept deeply integral to the philosophy and mission of The Island School, will be interwoven into the fabric of the week, both in the actual workshop activities and in ?exploration time.? The workshop ultimately promises to be a perfect mix of instruction, inspiration, relaxation, and celebration of the art of fiction.
Distinguised author Richard Bausch is past Chancellor of The Fellowship of Southern Writers and currently serves as The Moss Chair of Excellence at The University of Memphis. A Georgia native, he is the author of eleven novels and eight collections of stories, including the novels Rebel Powers, In The Night Season, Hello To The Cannibals, Thanksgiving Night, and Peace; and the story collections Spirits, Someone To Watch Over Me, The Stories of Richard Bausch, Wives & Lovers: 3 Short Novels, and the most recently Something is Out There. His novel, The Last Good Time, was made into a feature-length motion picture that was directed by Bob Balaban.
An acknowledged master of the short story form, Bausch's work has appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, Harper's, The New Yorker, Playboy, The Southern Review, The Best American Short Stories, O.
