If you’ve ever suspected that there might be a writer lurking under the skin, or perhaps harbored a secret notebook of half-started stories, this is the class for you. In this workshop you'll find your way first by releasing the writer within through creative prompts to get the words flowing, and then by discovering the elements of all good stories, including character, conflict, action, setting and more. For anyone who longs to write but doesn't know where to start, and for writers who have dabbled but lost their way. WARNING: this workshop just might seduce you into a life-long love affair with writing.

This year's special summer reading and writing class will use the book "The Writing Life" by Annie Dillard to launch a discussion about the joys, struggles, and hopes we have for our own writing lives. Through a reading (or re-reading) or the book, we will identify ways to build creativity, establish positive and forward-thinking writing habits, and set achievable goals. During our class meetings we will also write to a series of prompts and exercises inspired by the book that are designed to help writers of any stage find new energy for their writing. Students will be required to purchase the book for the class. It can be purchased here and is available at most booksellers.

To write poetry is to articulate the world around you. To find new and more precise ways to describe what it means to be alive. Poetry Craft Workshop is a course designed to not only generate new poems, but to sharpen poetic craft with an eye toward publication and/or creating a strong, cohesive body of work. This workshop-heavy course is perfect for writers looking for a supportive and constructive environment in which to challenge themselves—to write, revise and workshop the poems they’ve always dreamed of creating.
