Acclaimed novelist, playwright 'Samuel Shem' to visit campus
|
 Doctor, novelist, activist, and playwright "Samuel Shem" will visit OU at 7 p.m., April 8, in the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom of the Oklahoma Memorial Union. "Shem" has been described as "Easily the finest and most important writer ever to focus on the lives of doctors and the world of medicine" and "The comic genius and holy terror of medicine." The Lancet called 'The House of God,' a novel about medical training which has sold 3 million copies: "One of the two most significant medical novels of the 20th century". Its sequel, "Mount Misery," was called "Another medical classic." The man behind the medical novels is Dr. Stephen Bergman, who uses the pen name "Samuel Shem." A graduate of Harvard Phil Beta Kappa, a Rhodes scholar at Balliol College Oxford, and a graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Bergman was on the faculty of Harvard for three decades and is currently Clinical Professor of Medicine in Medical Humanities, Literature, and Bioethics at New York University Medical School. |

Making a Living as a Writer, 5000-level pro practice course
JMC 5001 Sec. 901 CRN 34731 
Profs. Win Blevins and Meredith Blevins, authors of more the 40 books.
Online session 1:
Fri. 4/24/15 5-9 p.m.
Online session 2:
Sat. 4/25/15 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Online session 3:
Sun. 4/26/15 1-5 p.m.
MAKING A LIVING AS A WRITER is how to get going as a professional writing books and movies. The class is likely to touch on magazines and the web, briefly.
This class focuses on issues like what the financial prospects are in each area, what the customary business practices are, whether to start publishing books traditionally or digitally, how to get entry into the biz, what agents, editors, and producers actually do, what's in contracts and what to watch out for in them, how book production works (movie production is too complicated to get into), how to do social marketing, and more.
Not a course on how to write but a course on how to become an established pro.
There will be reading to do in advance and a booklet to write after class. |
