Fall Workshop

“Making Memoirs Out of Mountains”

Saturday, September 25, 2021
10 a.m. – 1 p.m. EST

In this workshop, we’ll spend our time sprinting through a series of nonfiction prompts geared toward making sure you walk away with a mountain of ideas to work on over the holiday season. This workshop is one-size-fits-all. Perfect for beginning writers, writers with projects in progress, and, yes, even you, poets! Together, we’ll explore ways to tap into our writing selves and inspire our own muses.
