The Tri-Valley Writers Chapter of the California Writers Club is welcoming Bay Area-based author and educator Nina Schuyler to present to its members at the club’s November meeting.
Schuyler, who is a noted novelist and short story writer as well as a teacher of creative writing for University of San Francisco and Stanford Continuing Studies, will speak to the group on Nov. 18 with a presentation titled “Making Metaphors and Other Stylish Moves”.
“To create metaphors, we need to find connections and similarities between seemingly disparate things. Schuyler will show us how to create sentences containing fresh and compelling metaphors,” club officials said.
“Participants will develop an understanding of the power of metaphor, gain strategies to create metaphors, learn how to write original metaphors, learn how to write sentences that can easily contain metaphors and learn three techniques for writing sentences that invoke more style techniques,” club reps added.
The presentation will begin at 2 p.m. in Room 2470 at Las Positas College, 3000 Campus Hill Drive in Livermore. The session is open to non-members as well as club members, with paid reservations due by Nov. 16. For ticket prices and more information, go to www.trivalleywriters.org.
