Writing: Tell Your Story

Writing: Tell Your Story

This generative workshop offers an opportunity to get started (or started again) on writing YOUR story.

During this 6 week series, we will write in response to prompts and exercises. In sharing and discussing this work with the group, we will begin to discover our own creative paths. We will also examine published authors’ use of such strategies as dialogue, scene and character development, and voice. Understanding these literary tools will help us craft our own engaging narratives.

Writers of all skill levels are welcome.
