Generating New Work, Catalyzing Work in Progress with Melanie Rae Thon
This will be a highly participative workshop for writers at any level of expertise and at any stage of exploration. Whether you have a completed draft of a novel or only the barest glimmer of an idea for an essay, our writing experiments will inspire new possibilities for spiritual adventure, sensory amplification, and rapturous investigation. Bring your favorite writing implements and prepare yourself for joy!
Melanie Rae Thon's most recent books are the novel The Voice of the River, and In This Light: New and Selected Stories. She is also the author of the novels Sweet Hearts, Meteors in August, and Iona Moon, and the story collections First, Body and Girls in the Grass. Thon's work has been included in Best American Short Stories (1995, 1996), three Pushcart Prize Anthologies (2003, 2006, 2008), and O. Henry Prize Stories (2006). She is a recipient of a Whiting Writer's Award (1997), two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1992 and 2008), a Writer's Residency from the Lannan Foundation (2005), and a fellowship from the Tanner Humanities Center (2009). Thon's fiction has been translated into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Croatian, Finnish, Japanese, Arabic, and Farsi. Originally from Montana, Thon now lives in Salt Lake City, where she teaches in the Creative Writing and Environmental Humanities programs at the University of Utah.
