HOW TO WRITE LIKE I DO: Tickets are officially on sale for 826 Seattle's 2010 "Write Like I Do" adult writing workshops. Though the classes will not begin until late January, all of the workshops will be held on Tuesdays throughout the year, and we have no doubt that tickets will fill up quickly, so get 'em while they have 'em! Featuring classes with local literary loves such as The Stranger's Brendan Kiley, foodie Molly Wizenberg, David Lasky, Karen Finneyfrock, and Sleater Kinney's Carrie Brownstein, you can probably understand why these small workshops will fill up quickly. The workshops cover all genres imaginable, and go for only $30 a pop or $210 for a season pass--a steal for some great literary fun! more ›
