Abstract:
A writing workshop with writing prompts and opportunities to share responses to those prompts – no prior writing or workshop experience needed.

This experience is designed as a hands-on writing workshop and includes timed writing in response to prompts, as well as ample time to share and reflect on our work. No experience or preparation is needed. All work will be kept confidential to the workshop itself, and the environment will be supportive and community-building. Tips for developing a writing practice will be discussed.
