2016 Downtown Writer's Workshop - Sign up for 2019! I'm taking names now for a small fall and summer session of writing workshop, where you can bring your drafts or your ideas and receive top-shelf feedback and suggestions. Lunch is on me. Individual sessions also available for a very modest fee.

This workshop features writing and discussion that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us, which is the most earnest work. 

                         "Great art is clear thinking about mixed feelings." --W.H. Auden

This workshop provides an opportunity for folks to share a bit of their work in a small community that wishes it well. Downtown Writer's Workshop provides support for both established and emerging writers in one-on-one and group settings. Who we read effects how we write. Let's talk about this with an iced tea and a light lunch in the beautiful Port City.
