Dates: 10 - 12 December 2010
Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF), in partnership with Quixote's Cove: the bookshop, is organizing a three-day writing workshop with the English writer, mountaineer and professor Terry Gifford. The workshops will be held between 9:30 to 11:00 AM, on December 10, 11 and 12. The sessions will be held at the City Hall, as a part of KIMFF.
Over the three sessions, Proffessor Terry Gifford will lead workshops on writing prose or poems on "favourite place in, or viewing, mountains," leading to the production of a 1,000 word piece of prose, or a poem. Through discussions on guided note-making and heightened language, and through intensive peer reviews, the participants will have the opportunity to hone their craft of writing, and discover common passions to build a foundation for future collaborations with their peers.
The three workshops will include short lectures by Professor Terry Gifford, a short presentation by participating writers, and a round of critique by peers.
KIMFF and QC will recommend the products of the workshop--poetry and prose--to reputed national and regional publications.
A total of 12 participants will be selected through an open call for submissions on poetry and prose on mountains. There is a registration fee of NRS 3,000/- per participant. Interested candidates may send their poetry and/or prose to info@qcbookshop.com. The last date for submission is 30th November 2010.
