Short to direct writer’s workshop
Sharon Short has been named the new director of the Antioch Writers’ Workshop, which will be held for the 24th year July 11-17, 2009, in Yellow Springs.
She is the author of two mystery series and the humor column “Sanity Check,” which runs in Life on Mondays in the Dayton Daily News.
She succeeds Laura Carlson, who directed the nationally known workshop from 2004-8 and is project coordinator for the Yellow Springs Center for the Arts.
Short, who lives in Centerville, said the appointment “is a real honor. I first attended the workshop in 1990. That made a real difference in my writing life, enabling me to feel more confident as a writer and to connect with other writers.”
She has been a guest speaker and faculty member at previous workshops.
This year’s faculty will include South African novelist and playwright Zakes Mda. Sessions will include creative writing, fiction, poetry, non-fiction, long fiction, short fiction and memoir.
