Prose Workshop: Empower Your Writer Within
Week 5 | MWF | Prose Room, Alumni Hall | Ages 18+
In this workshop we’ll explore why telling your story matters and how you can craft it for publication or personal accomplishment. Whether you’re writing fiction (a novel, short story or children’s book), or nonfiction (a memoir or collection of essays), we’ll engage in the process of refining your writing goals and your writing methods. This generative workshop is ideal for those who want to hone their voice, add depth to their writing, and get from the idea stage to “The End.”
