At the field's end, in the corner missed by the mower Where the turf drops off into a grass-hidden culvert, Haunt of the cat-bird, nesting-place of the field-mouse... One learned of the eternal... From "The Far Field," a poem by Theodore Roethke

2013 Spring Seminar:

The Publishing Revolution: Ride the Wave!

April 27, 2013 l0:00 AM–5:00 PM at IslandWood

How can digital and alternative publishing strengthen the bond between writer and readers? What are the economics of self-publishing? What are publishers looking for right now? How have marketing strategies changed? The Publishing Revolution: Ride the Wave! will answer these and other questions.

The all-day seminar is designed to educate writers on the changes taking place in publishing, especially digital technologies.

Jason Allen Ashlock, Co-founder and President of Movable Type Management, an expert in the field, will present valuable information at the daylong event. At MTM, Ashlock oversees development of new books and digital properties and leads partnerships with digital developers and marketing specialists. He teaches digital publishing at the City University of New York – City College.

Island Story Slams

In July of 2012, Field's End sponsored our first Island Story Slam with the theme "Far From Home." View the photos over in our Archives. It was an overwhelming success with more than a dozen storytellers. They told their true tales to an appreciative audience of over 100 people. Local storytelling at its finest. What fun!
