Writing Workshops Summer ‘21 

     Each class meets online on Saturdays, 10-3:30 pm with a 45 min. lunch break. Registration is in advance only at our website, www.twwoa.org. Classes are $80, or $75 Workshop members. Financial assistance in exchange for volunteer hours is available for low-income writers!

Sept. 4:  Creative Non-Fiction Writing with Glenn Proctor    

Being able to write about life’s challenges and successes is cathartic, and for many, an opening to a new understanding of self, family and circumstances. Prior to the workshop, participants should write a short mission statement: what you want out of the class, and the type of writing you’re interested in. Please email by July 20 to writersw@gmail.com. Proctor has taught journalism at Kent State, Washington & Lee, Northwestern, and shared the Pulitzer Prize at the Akron Beacon Journal.

 

Sept. 11:  Write Your Life with Richard Krawiec

        The class will learn how to draw on the "material" of their lives to write and revise memoirs, stories, or plays. Elements covered include time compression and expansion, theme, and developing your piece professionally. Previous students will learn new material. Krawiec is the founder of Jacar Press, and the author of numerous books such as "Breakdown: A Father's Story", "Faith in What?" and "Time Sharing". His works are published in numerous journals including Shenandoah, Florida Review, and N.C. Literary Review. 

 

Sincerely, Karen Ackerson
