Drop-In Writing Workshop
Get expert feedback on something you’ve been struggling with, a prompt for generating new work and valuable critique in a warm, friendly environment.
Suitable for writers working on poetry, fiction and memoir.
In this self-contained writer’s workshop, we will generate short new writing for feedback based on a prompt for developing and sharing.
You’ll leave having written something new and gain some new perspective.
Additionally the workshop will offer serious, close critique of written pieces participants have previously prepared for class.
The tone of this class is congenial and fun but we’re also very serious about good writing and good writing practices.
We’ll have a ten-minute break in between.
Join us for one class or sign up for all of them! All levels welcome.
