Writing Workshop

This writing workshop is a chance for you to get out that unfinished memoir, the poem you’ve been working on, the op-ed essay, short story or novel from the kitchen drawer. Or to start something entirely new. You don’t have to be a pro! Just someone who loves to read and write. Each week we will engage in a constructive critique and discuss our work in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. Progress on your project will be expected from week to week, so a level of commitment is required.
