In the last post, I missed mentioning the workshop on using similes and metaphors that is on next weekend. My apologies to the talented Dr Ron Day.
April 11th: Tutor Ron Day
Workshop: Using Similes and Metaphors
Memorable writing often makes use of figures of speech such as similes and metaphors. If fresh and original they can lift description, add interest to any writing, and make it sparkle. This workshop will show you how it's done.
Course cost: $50 One day—10am to 4pm
We already have some bookings, and space is limited, so if anyone wants to book, I suggest they do it now. I have included the rest of the April workshops in case someone missed seeing them.
