interactions with<br />
self and community, the<br />
physical act of writing and the world of editing and publishing.<br />
“Many writers,” Gunnars said, “make the mistake<br />
of neglecting one or more of these areas. As we explore<br />
these, I want to do so interactively and have everyone in<br />

a view of writing as possible.” Cost of the workshop<br />
