A 2 Week IN-PERSON Fiction/Nonfiction/Memoir Workshop
Tuesday, October 24 & Tuesday, November 7th
ALL LEVELS
Feeling stuck with your writing? It happens to all of us.
Whether you're contemplating how and where to begin, brainstorming a problem with a piece of writing, or deep in revisions, a breakthrough can change everything.
In this class, we'll identify what's blocking you and how you can take the next step. Writing exercises, partner work, and group sharing and problem solving will help us see our writing in a new way. Between the two class meetings, students will choose one craft book from a suggested list, and come back to share practical tips and inspiration with the group. Together, we'll find more fertile ground.
+ PLEASE NOTE This workshop will occur IN-PERSON at Greene Block Studios in Waterville, Maine.
