Columbia Writers' Workshop II: Zooilla and the Art of Non-Fiction Proposals

http://columbiawritersworkshop.blogspot.com/2015/03/zooilla-and-art-of-non-fiction-proposals.html

Sunday, March 8, 2015. Zooilla and the Art of Non-Fiction Proposals. By Laura P. Valtorta. Some people live fortunate lives. I am extra fortunate, but not as fortunate as Zooilla, who has an agent, writes creative non-fiction, and teaches at the University of South Carolina. I call Zooilla “super lucky.” He makes a living writing about animals, and teaching the squirrels who attend USC. Who earns money writing about monkeys, opossums, and bees and gets free trips to India and Brazil thrown in? Zooilla is...

Columbia Writers' Workshop II: Writing with Clabber

http://columbiawritersworkshop.blogspot.com/2015/04/writing-with-clabber.html

Sunday, April 26, 2015. By Laura P. Valtorta. The best thing about filmmaking is the collaboration it requires. Shooting a scene correctly requires an experienced crew – director, cinematographer, lighting specialist, and sound person. Without those elements, the production values suffer. The audience notices distracting mistakes. Clabber worships GOD and DOG. I’m an atheist who can’t abide animals in the house. Clabber is short; I’m tall. Either way, the meeting went well. I sat back and listened to...

http://columbiawritersworkshop.blogspot.com/2015/02/writing-memoirs.html

Sunday, February 22, 2015. By Deborah Wright Yoho. When I was growing up, Walter Cronkite's warm, reassuring voice on his nightly newscast greeted our family every night.

Cronkite's job as the CBS news anchor required him to announce the evening American death toll in. I've been thinking about this anew since Brian Williams, th...
