UWC to host creative writing workshops |
Everyone has a story. Finding the Story Within is a series of five
workshops designed to develop and hone creative writing skills and
bring that story out. Each workshop will include hands-on exercises,
discussion, and readings (for those who wish to share their work).
Authors will develop pieces in fiction, creative non-fiction, or
poetry, or use skills learned in class to sharpen existing pieces.
Please bring to class:
- pens, pencils, paper (we will be writing in class)
- samples of writing projects in progress (if you feel like sharing)
Workshops will meet Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. and Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. in the University Writing Center.
