Attend one, attend two! These writing workshops are structured to address the key elements of writing and publishing your work. The first 30 minutes will be dedicated to writing - prompts are provided and writing time from 5 - 10 minutes per prompt. The next 45 minutes are dedicated to sharing and feedback. You can share one of the pieces you wrote in the first portion of the program, or bring copies of a poem or short prose to share. The last 15 minutes are an open discussion of should you publish, why or why not, how, and where.
