‘Virtual’ Creative Writing Workshops – Winter 2021

PROSE Sessions

Saturdays 9:30 am – noon: January 30, February 27, March 6, April 3

The creative writing workshop will be based on the story workshop method, using reading, recall, exercises, visualization and writing. Participants will be required to read each others’ work as well as listen and provide verbal feedback in the form of questions. Anyone high school age or above, who would like to work on fully seeing and telling a story can participate. These workshops can help jumpstart the process. Maybe you’ve got a story in your head that you’ve been dying to tell. Maybe you’ve got a story, novel, play, script or screenplay you’d like to jumpstart. Come with a scene in mind. Leave with something on paper you can use to write the rest of the story, as well as a method for seeing and writing more.
