Next Workshops: Sunday, April 21
For more information, including how to register, select “Workshops” under the
Members Only tab. Participation is limited to Writers Guild members only.
1:15 pm – 2:30 pm.
This is a generative writing session during which you’ll be given several writing prompts. All styles and genres welcomed.
Writing may be shared at the end of the workshop. (min 3; max 15)
Cost: $3
2:45 pm – 4:45 pm.
This workshop gives you the chance to get feedback on a piece you’ve been working on or have completed. We’re excited to be offering these feedback workshops to Guild members—they won’t be the standard type of critique workshop. Rather, we’ll be using the WOW (Working on Our Work) workshop style that is led by a facilitator but peer-based, in which we all learn from one another. The emphasis is not focused on “critique” but rather "feedback". The writer is in total control on what feedback s/he receives. Participants respond to the writers questions so that the writer can see the impact of what s/he wrote. Participants do not try to “fix” another person’s art/writing. More information about the process will be sent to you when you register. All styles/genres welcomed. (min 3; max 6)
Cost: $6.00
