“Are you writing workshop curious? New to writing workshop, or looking to dust off the cobwebs and begin your writing life anew? Then this class is for you. Open to those writing fiction, non-fiction and everything in between, this class will introduce the basics of craft, the mechanics of writing workshop, and bring inspiration, instruction, and accountability to your weekly writing practice. Writers will submit a few pages each week, write in class to prompts, and give each other feedback. You will leave this seven week class empowered by this introduction, or re-introduction, to all that a workshop can offer your writing.

 

What You Can Expect: 

 

  • A warm introduction to writing workshop 
  • A safe space to share your words every week! 
  • Introduction to aspects of craft
  • Guidance in how to give constructive feedback to your peers 
  • A wonderful community of writers and friends 
  • Fun, joy, fulfillment, & play!
