“Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.” — William Faulkner

UPDATE: CLASS IS FULL. Three-Month Novel Workshop:

UPDATE: CLASS IS FULL. Three-Month Novel Workshop: You are wanting to begin a book-length manuscript and need that big initial push, or you’re already in the midst of wrestling with it and would like some objective eyes to help you step back and get a bit of clarity and insight.

If you desire constructive discussion of your work from a bestselling author and a small group of similarly focused (perhaps obsessed might be a better word) peers, as well as a chance to offer your own, this is your workshop.

A seasoned veteran with keen insight into publishing, Joseph Boyden also offers valuable knowledge of that world. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk about the publishing process: how to know when you’re ready to share your novel or collection, how to find the right literary agent as well as approach that agent with your manuscript, and lots of other sage advice to better your chances of getting your work out into the world.

The Novel Workshop introduces you to other writers focused on the same goals. Why not create new working friendships that will carry on beyond the workshop?

* Currently, this workshop is online via Zoom.
* Minimal enrolment is four writers with a cap of six writers.
* Six weeks of classes, meeting twice a month for three hours.
* You will receive four one-on-one discussions with Joseph.
* Admission is based on a short writing sample.

Workshop #1: Mon. October 3, 12-3 pm
Workshop #2: Tues. October 18, 12-3 pm
Workshop #3: Mon. October 31, 12-3 pm
Workshop #4: Mon. November 14, 12-3 pm
Workshop #5: Mon. November 28, 12-3 pm
Workshop #6: Mon. December 12, 12-3 pm
(EST)

A lovely repost by • @niloo_books The Orenda.2013
📚کتاب: #اورندا
🖋️نویسنده: #جوزف_بویدن
🖋️مترجم: #محمد_جوادی
📖#نشر_مروارید
📖592 صفحه
📑ژانر: #تاریخی_نیلوبوک

📙نام کتاب، اورندا، به‌اعتقاد سرخ‌پوستان نیرویی ماورایی است که در همه موجودات جاندار و بی‌جان وجود دارد، چیزی شبیه روح، اما معتقدند مختص حیوان، درخت، دریا و هر چیز بی‌جان دیگر هم هست.

📙این کتاب جلد سوم مجموعه‌ست اما از نظر تاریخی، زمان قبل از دو کتاب اوله و بهتره اول خونده شه.

خلاصه:
📗سرخ‌پوستان آمریکای شمالی و کانادا در قرن 17، با ورود فرانسوی‌ها و انگلیسی‌ها به سرزمینشان، با چالش‌هایی روبه‌رو می‌شوند که اروپاییان سنت، عقاید و فرهنگشان را به تاراج می‌برند...

نظر من:
📕کتاب سه راوی داره:
🔸پرنده، از قبیله هیورون
🔸دانه برف، دختری از قبیله ایروکوی یا هادشانی
🔸کلاغ، کشیش فرانسوی مبلغ مسیحیت

پرنده، همسر و دو دخترش را از دست داده و دانه برف دختری از قبیله دشمن رو به سرپرستی گرفته و پدر او شده.
کلاغ، بیگانه‌ای در سرزمین وحشی که برای ترویج مسیحیت و صدای اعظم (خدا) بین سرخ‌پوستان تلاش می‌کند.

📕اورندا یه کتاب تاریخی واقعی و حاصل مطالعات دقیق نویسنده‌ست که داستان فراموش‌شده قبایل سرخ‌پوست رو کاملا مستند و بی‌طرفانه به‌صورت داستان بیان کرده.

در اورندا با سنت‌ها، عقاید، سرمایه‌های بومی، زیستی و فرهنگی سرخپوستان آشنا می‌شیم. سرخپوستان در عین دوری از دنیای بیرون و مدرن، افکار و عقاید خاص خودشون رو دارن که بتونن با دنیای وحشی پیرامونشون وفق پیدا کنن و زنده بمونن.

📕با سه زاویه دید متفاوت که از نقاط قوت کتابه، با سرخ‌پوستان همراه می‌شیم، پابه‌پای اونا زندگی می‌کنیم، می‌خندیم، درد می‌کشیم و در سرزمینشون برای بقا می‌جنگیم.

کتاب به‌شدت زیبا و پراطلاعاتی بود که در عین تلخی، پربار و مفید بود.

📘ترجمه آقای جوادی و ارتباط مستقیمشون با نویسنده، فارسی‌سازی اسم سرخ‌پوستان و یادداشت نویسنده برای مخاطبان ایرانی کتاب، همه عالی بود.

بریده کتاب:
📄گاهی به دست نیاوردن چیزی که می‌خواهیم مهم‌ترین درس‌ها را به ما می‌دهد.

🏅امتیاز گودریدز: 4.22/5
🏅امتیاز من به کتاب: 5/5
🏅در یک کلام: روح سرخ‌پوستان
🏅به سلیقه من: به‌شدت زیبا و پرمحتوا

📌به چه کسی پیشنهاد می‌دم: برای دونستن بیشتر درباره تاریخی واقعی سرخپوستان البته با تحمل شکنجه‌‌هایی که توصیف شده. کتاب ارزشمند و پرباریه.

📌چی یاد گرفتم: تاریخ غنی سرخ‌پوستان. انسان‌ها برای بقا، راه‌های مختلفی رو در پیش می‌گیرن.

· This lively two-week workshop introduces you to the tools you need to get writing.

· Meeting twice each week for 90 minutes, Joseph’s entertaining and straightforward style brings to life the fundamentals of the craft, including how to make your characters come alive, concrete ways to plot out your narrative, the vital importance of choosing the right point-of-view, as well as how to write strong dialogue.

· In each meeting, he presents short and digestible tutorials that explore everything from mining story ideas to developing them into actual scenes to stitching those scenes together into what will become a fully realized piece of fiction.

· Over the two weeks, Joseph leads plenty of group discussions as well, helping you to delve deeper into some of the finer points of the all-important fundamentals.

. Each workshop includes handout summaries of the tutorials and, most importantly, short take-home writing exercises geared to help you explore and develop what you’ve learned.

Check it out! I'm in awe of Laura’s grace stepping into the world of writing. Already she's published here, been shortlisted for a Prism International contest, and most amazing, is nominated for a National Magazine Award, 2022. — Joseph

Posted @withregram • @malahatreview "Motherhood also makes me question my actions and reactions. What are the deep belief systems ingrained in me by colonialism and patriarchy that still have their grip on me? When do we stop the intergenerational trauma and reclaim what was stolen? The beauty of writing is that the creative elements cradle the hard truth. You can go somewhere painful, then come up for air and focus on the mechanics and editing. I like this part—plotting and moving pieces around after writing a draft."⁠
⁠
In an interview about her memoir "Birthed Twice”, appearing in Winter issue 217, Laura Vukson talks about how it can feel to write about the Indigenous body, questioning the belief systems ingrained by colonialism and patriarchy, and how creative elements cradle the hard truth in her writing.⁠
⁠
Laura Vukson is a Tlicho Dene First Nation member, a mother, and an advocate for Indigenous youth. Residing in Parry Sound, Ontario, she’s co-creator of Sweetwater Writers Workshop, a place she likes to refer to as a home for wayward writers. Laura’s currently working on her first novel as well as a collection of essays.⁠
