In this conversational workshop, writers will read the first page - or first paragraph or two - of their works in progress for feedback from the group and visiting writer Lauren Grodstein. We'll also talk about query letters, synopses, and why that first page matters so much.
Lauren Grodstein is the author of five novels, including the Read with Jenna selection We Must Not Think of Ourselves, New York Times bestseller A Friend of the Family and the Washington Post Book of the Year The Explanation for Everything. Lauren’s work has been translated into French, Turkish, German, Hebrew, and other languages, and her essays and reviews have been widely published. She teaches in the MFA Program at Rutgers University-Camden and lives in New Jersey with her husband and children.
