Lit. Crit. and Journalism

This Scott McLemee article at InsideHigherEd reminds me that I have been thinking about whether to try to organize something on writing for a non-academic audience next year. I wonder how many people would be interested. I also wonder whether anyone would be willing to attend a writing workshop over a day or two if there weren't the usual Emory shining carrot attached. My idea would be to invite someone with a Ph.D. who has experience placing book reviews and articles in a variety of publications.
