About this Event

Build community amongst other writers and hone your craft in this 4-week creative writing deep dive, Thursdays, January 9, 16, 23, & 30. We will focus on different narrative-building elements during each session, including characterization, setting, pacing, voice, and more. We will spend time writing together and will each have an opportunity to give and receive feedback in a safe and respectful environment. All genres and all writing levels are welcome!

About the instructor: Kathryn Amato is a writer and teacher based in Southern Maine. They have an MFA in Writing Fiction for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts, where their thesis on character agency in queer young adult novels received the 2022 Critical Thesis Award, and a Master of Arts in Teaching English Language Arts from The University of Pittsburgh. Kathryn was the 2019 Writer in Residence at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, MA and presented a panel "Breaking Up with Shame: Writing Romance for Young Adults" at AWP in 2023. They live with their wife, dog, two cats, and far too many plants.
