Sharpen Your Writing Tools

Five Wednesday Sessions
12:45-2:45 EST
11/12 – 12/17 (OFF 11/26)

 

Whether new to workshops or a seasoned veteran, every writer can benefit from strengthening their writing skill set. In this two-hour generative workshop, we will write to prompts focused on the foundations of creative writing and scene-work; voice, dialogue, setting, interiority, description — just to name a few. The instructor will offer two prompts per class, the class will write together in real time focusing on strengthening the skill of the week, share work and get feedback. Writers can use the writing time to explore a new project, add pages to a work in progress, or edit existing work. Open to all levels of experience, all genres and all stages of a work. After five weeks of focused craft work, writing tools will be shining bright and ready to serve your writing goals!
