Personal Writing

Adult Workshop (Age 16+) | This program has been canceled

Saturday, 2/17, 1:00-4:00 pm


Do you have a personal story to tell? An anecdote that you'd like to share? Would you like to see your byline in print? This one-day workshop will explore the personal essay. We'll look at how to grab the reader's attention, how to strengthen your prose and how to tell a story in 500 words. It's cheaper than therapy and more productive than bingewatching Netflix. What's your story?

  • Students: bring a laptop or pad of paper and pencil or pen and an idea.
  • Optional: Bring a favorite piece of writing by you or anyone
