Barry Hannah to hold fiction writing workshop at Square Books in memory of Jim Higgins

Barry Hannah to hold fiction writing workshop at Square Books in memory of Jim Higgins

I’ll just quote Barry’s flyer (first noting that Barry was the only person Jim allowed to call him Jimmy).  This is a real opportunity.

The JIMMY HIGGINS MEMORIAL WORKSHOP

BARRY HANNAH – TEACHER

BEGINNING JUNE 11th, 2009 3:30 – 6:00 PM

RUNNING FOR 4-5 THURSDAYS FOLLOWING

Mr. Higgins recently passed after a heroic thirteen years of struggle and supurb work in fiction and computers.  He was a hero to all his friends, which were many.  The workship is given in honor of Jimmy and his lovely wife, Tayla, who fought with him through dire straits.

For $300.00 (3 Stories) or $400.00 (4 Stories) per student, a class up to 15 and no fewer than 7 writers will be taught by Hannah, of the Ole Miss, Sewanee, Iowa, and Bennington Workshops.  Check out his books.

Call Hannah or Square Books at 236-2262 (As for Slade) or htttp://www.squarebooks.com, for info.

Apply now. Fiction only. Payment in advance.

Class members can submit 3 stories in 5-6 sessions.  Photocopied (by you) stories will have round table discussion and will be personally edited by Hannah. At $100.00 per story this price is modest. Get bang for buck.

Workshop is held 3:30-6:00PM beginning Thursday, June 11th on Square Books upper deck.  I expect several publications.

Be a pro!

    Perhaps someone will stage a spelling workshop to coincide with the writing workshop: “supurb”? “dire straights”?

    I guess I never knew how much my enjoyment of Mr. Hannah’s fiction has been enhanced by his editors.

    I retyped the flier and the errors are mine, not those of either Barry, or Square Books (who made the flier).

  • Jackson B.

    Grammar National Socialists are the worst.
