WELCOME!

Welcome to the Fall 2006, Jenny McKean Moore Workshop at George Washington University! In one week, we will start our sessions and I am looking forward to it. The sessions will be held on the campus of George Washington University in Rome Hall, which is located on the corner of 22nd and I Streets. We will meet in the 7th Floor Conference Room on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30. Classes begin on Tuesday, September 12. (If you are traveling by Metro, we are only two blocks from the Foggy Bottom station on the Orange/Blue line.)

FAQ:
What do I need to bring with me to class?
You should bring pen and paper on the first day. As the class progresses there will be other items you will bring, but you will be told ahead of time.

Are you sure this is a FREE class?
The class is free, as there are no fees for tuition, etc. You will have to make a small investment to make 21 copies of your story when it is your turn to be workshopped. I can't make copies for you, but you can get copies at Office Max or Kinkos for about six cents a page.

I don't have a lot of experience, will this be a problem?
Nope.

What if I can't make every single session?
I understand that life happens. You may miss a session or two, but you must make sure that you get the work that is distributed that day. Do not be a creative freeloader! By this I mean, it will give you bad karma if you miss the sessions when other people's work is being critiqued, but show up to have your own work discussed.

When can I meet with you one-on-one?
I have a class that meets from 3:30-5:00. By 5:30, I will be in my office (656 Rome Hall). This is the same building our class is in. I will be likely eating my box lunch, but I will be glad to meet with you if you don't mind the chewing.

I am very sensitive. What if I start crying during the workshop.
That's okay. There's tissue. But seriously, I run a very civil workshop. Constructive criticism is the name of the game.
