BRENDA BOWEN
Every great novel begins with a single, well-crafted sentence, but what happens after that? This workshop is designed for writers who have a brilliant idea for a book but who may be stuck when it comes to getting it on paper.
MARIA ADELAIDE BASILE
In Assisi we'll visit stores, markets, museums and other cultural sites where you'll be encouraged to have conversations with locals and share your impressions, pictures, and questions which will focus on how to use spoken and written Italian. The course will be conducted entirely in Italian.
