Have you been wanting to put a chapbook or short poetry collection together? Begin your new year by returning to an existing body of work with fresh eyes, incorporating new editorial techniques and peer feedback designed to sharpen your work into an impactful chapbook in four weeks.

In this month-long intensive course, students will share, discuss, and learn from a variety of short publications. Theories of composition, ordering, editing, thematic approaches, and publication FAQs will be covered. Each student will have the opportunity to workshop a short collection and receive feedback from the class and the instructor. At the end of the class, students will ideally leave with a sharpened, short collection of work for independent publication or submission.

Class meets Mondays from 5-7pm PST, January 25th-February 16th. Hosted by the Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC) in Portland, OR. Information, registration, and application info available at iprc.org.
