Thursday July 23 – Rewrite

What: Rewrite – A collaborative copywriting workshop.
When: Thursday, July 23 from 6:30-8:30pm
Where: Market Street Media Foundry
RSVP: Not required. MSMF/Impromptu members may sign up in advance to guarantee their copy gets examined.

Rewrite is a collaborative, hands-on copywriting workshop. Yes, copywriting, not copyrighting. We’re sure. Bring a small bit of copy – maybe an artist statement or the opening few paragraphs of a marketing piece or the welcome message on your website – and the room will tear it to shreds as nicely as possible. Subtle changes can mean huge differences in communicating your message effectively. THIS IS NOT A GRAMMAR WORKSHOP. Grammatical errors bug English teachers and grammar Nazis. Ill communication bugs everyone, unless it is a Beastie Boys album, in which case it’s fine.

To participate:

• Print your copy in a nice large font (Times/Helvetica is good) in black and white on a normal printer paper.
• Bring it with you
• Participate.

That’s it.

If you are completely printer-less and are trying to run a business or grow your arts career it might be time to sign up for Market Street or Impromptu. We have printers and a few other resources you might find useful.

We will produce photocopies and overheads as needed. Red pens will be provided.

Copy will be workshopped in a moderated, first-come first-serve setting. MSMF and Impromptu members may sign up in advance at MSMF to guarantee that their copy will be examined.
