The Mike Levine Journalism Workshop is April 29 to May 2, in Livingston Manor, N.Y.
The MLJW is a bit of a throwback, named after a dear friend, mentor, and one of the best story guys ever. It’s more of a gathering than a conference.
We stay in the Shandalee Lake Inn in Livingston Manor, N.Y., for a long weekend, talking shop and getting better at journalism. Writers bring reported material with the goal of working one on one with a coach and getting the story in publishable shape.
Two shining examples of journalism that sprung from last year’s get-together: Janine Anderson’s just-published story, The Wait. And Konrad Marshall’s serial, The War Within.
And there’s some food and no small amount of drink, not entirely different from The Auburn Chautauqua.
Last year, Pete Hamill blessed us with some wisdom at the Eddie Adams barn. We also learned to fly cast from some of the best.
And if you’re looking for a recap, Kruse blogged the living shit out of it.
