Happy New Year!

I hope your new year is starting out strong! Here’s some news on classes I’m teaching and events where I’m reading this month:

NEW WRITING WORKSHOPS AT 3RD WARD
RÉSUMÉ WRITING WORKSHOP: Tighten, rewrite, edit, and update your résumé. Take advantage of the small-group setting to exchange job-search strategies and get feedback on your résumé from others. Three-hour workshop.   Sunday, January 20, 1:30-4:30 PM.

WHO ARE YOU? is a one-night, three-hour workshop designed to help students learn to write strong, compelling mission statements, bios, and “About Me” website content. Inspired by the longer “Learn to Love Your Artist Statement” workshop, this shorter session helps freelancers, entrepreneurs, bloggers and others who don’t know how to tell the story that will interest their audience. (*Note: this workshop is almost sold out). Tuesday, January 15, 7-10 PM.

From a recent student of the LEARN TO LOVE YOUR ARTIST STATEMENT workshop: “I have never ever been happy with an artist statement before so it is a really big deal for me, and I am very excited.” This three-week, 9-hour workshop was created for artists who struggle with the challenge of writing original, effective artist statements. Mondays, January 14, 21 and 28, 7-10 PM.
You can sign up or learn more at 3rd Ward.com.

I came across the photo above while doing research for a project I’m writing about my grandmother. This was how her ground-floor condo in Macungie, PA, looked after the blizzard of ’96.

Thank you for your support, best wishes for a great 2013.

I dare to ask: Who Are You?

Published January 4, 2013 by Robin

On January 15, 3rd Ward will be offering a brand-new writing workshop called Who Are You?

I created this 3-hour session for the busy entrepreneurs, creative freelancers and motivated individuals who need to answer this question, in writing–in “About Me” statements, mission statements, biographies and statements of purpose.

Who are you? Sign up and see what you find out…

Boot Camp: 3rd Ward! November 17

Published November 17, 2012 by Robin

I’ve been asked to help out at 3rd Ward’s Professional Boot Camp on November 17. Looks like fun! For me, anyway–everyone else will be hard at work, polishing  & editing their résumés until they shine. See you tomorrow.

Reading at Bodega, November 4

Published October 10, 2012 by Robin

I’ll be reading something new from the 100 Days project at Bodega’s monthly storytelling series. This series is always the first Sunday in November at 7 PM (11/4/2012). Bodega Wine Bar: St. Nicholas & Troutman, in Bushwick. Take the L to Jefferson.

I read a post-Sandy essay instead. I got a standing ovation, my first. Thanks, Bushwick. –UPDATED 11/05/2012
