She also teaches privately, helping writers at all levels-- from beginning writers to those with published work, giving guidance through the process of conception, writing and seeking an agent or publisher, editing and teaching various aspects of the craft of poetry and prose. She honors the intent of the writer, helping to clarify and realize each student’s ideas, process, and work.
One student has written of her work recently, “It is a pleasure and a treasure to work with you. Your gift of seeing into the heart of what I am trying to do, directing me toward my own heart’s goal, has proved invaluable.”

Summer Writing Intensive
A weekend end workshop in Poetry and Prose
July 30-August 1, 2010 ( with an option for a Saturday only enrollment.)
Cultivate creativity, learn and refine craft and how to begin, sustain, compose
and finish a work.
About the Summer Intensive
Susan will talk about process and craft and the ways they work together. The workshop will proceed from a discussion of beginnings and move eventually to considering how to end a work organically, addressing elements of craft: voice, the music of language, narrative and suspense, and composition, using examples from non-fiction, fiction and poetry. She will present writing exercises—some to be done during the day and some to take home. Throughout the weekend she will work with student’s questions, including any problems you may have encountered with process or craft, and, as time allows, she will work directly with material you bring in, whether from work generated in the intensive or ongoing work. At the end of the intensive she will spend a brief period on the subjects of publishing and performance. The intensive will be limited to 14 students. Students at very level of accomplishment are welcome.
