Would you like to punch up your prose with writing help from a professional writer? Would you like to transform your swirling thoughts and feelings into written words with better skill?
Post-Tribune columnist Jerry Davich is hosting a “Writing 101 Workshop” for aspiring writers, veteran wordsmiths and anyone who simply wants to learn more about the joys, pains and nuances of writing, whether it’s for personal enjoyment, professional purposes or to better organize your thoughts into the written word.
Jerry, who’s earned more than 50 writing awards for his work, writes at least 1,000 words - every day - for his Chicago Tribune Media columns, magazine stories and book projects. He will share what he has learned over the course of his 25-year career.
