Mentor, Heather Sharfeddin (fiction, novels, short stories)

START TIME: Apr 27 2012 - 6:00 PM

Colonyhouse, Rockaway Beach

Novelist Heather Sharfeddin will be offering private one-on-one mentoring for novel writers as part of our Mentor in the House weekend program. Both beginning and advanced writers should consider this unique opportunity to work closely with an accomplished fiction writer.

From April 27th @ 6 PM to April 29th @ 3 PM, Mrs. Sharfeddin will live and write at the Colonyhouse, a historic log cabin on the Oregon Coast at Rockaway Beach, and will be available for personally tailored hour-long consultations with each retreat participant. In addition to plenty of time to write over the weekend, an optional Saturday night sharing allows participants to workshop their writing in a relaxed atmosphere with the mentor and other retreat-goers.

The cost of the retreat is $150 for members, and $190 for non-members (includes a one-year Oregon Writers Colony membership). This price includes shared lodging at the Colonyhouse. Participants are expected to provide their own food and bedding. A communal meal may be arranged with the consent of the mentor.

Heather Sharfeddin is the author of four novels set in the modern rural West. Her debut novel, Blackbelly, received the Erick Hoffer Book Award and the San Francisco Book Festival Award. Her third novel, Windless Summer, received the New York Book Festival Award. Her stories are acclaimed by the Chicago Tribune, San Diego Times, Washington Post, Boston Tribune, Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly, among many others. Her articles and poetry are published in numerous magazines and anthologies. She holds an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Art.
