Native Detroiter and Award-Winning Author Susan Shapiro Shares Writing Tips at Seminar

One of the funniest, brightest and dishiest authors in America, Susan Shapiro directs a writing seminar Tuesday, August 9 on how to write about your family without getting excommunicated for the Association for Women in Communications.

In her latest novel – her 12th – What’s Never Said, Shapiro, an award-winning writing professor, freelancer for The New York Times, New York Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, L.A. Times and Newsweek, takes a captivating look at how we communicate/miscommunicate, and how the words unspoken can imprison us.

In a two-hour seminar, she shares her award-winning formula for writing about her addictions, her past lovers, her parents, her therapists and this crazy, mixed-up world. A New York City resident, she teaches writing classes at the New School, NYU, and in private workshops and seminars. You can follow her on Twitter at @susanshapironet or visit her website, www.susanshapiro.net.

Registration begins at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner and networking at 6:00 pm and the program at 6:45 pm

Cost is $25 for AWC members, $35 for non-members and $15 for students and recent graduates. The evening includes dinner, and a copy of Shapiro’s latest book. For more information and online registration, visit www.womcomdetroit.org/events.
