Local nonprofit PRIZM is better known for supporting local visual arts, but this August, the group is expanding into the literary field as well. As part of its Summer Staycation series, PRIZM will present “Publishing Creative Writing: Getting in the Game,” a workshop hosted by BGSU professor Wendell Mayo. The professor’s upcoming short story collection, The Cucumber King of Kedainiai, won the prestigious 2012 Subito Press Award for Innovative Fiction, and he is ready to share his experience with the art and business of fiction with you, in hopes that participants will publish their own fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry. Friday, August 9, 2:30-4:30pm. Tea will be served prior, at 12:20pm. $10 members, $15 guests. Clara J’s Tea Room, 219 W. Wayne St. Maumee. 419-931-8732. www.myprizm.com—JS
