Writing Workshop Wednesday
This event is taking place on Wednesday from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the ACC Madeline Briggs Center 143.
This writing workshop series focuses on writing, sharing, and feedback. Everyone has stories, some are told, some are written, and some, like memoirs, are written to be shared with others. Sessions will examine issues with writing, share techniques for writing and revising, and practice some editing. Participants write between sessions, share their writing at sessions, and get feedback that they can use for revising and polishing their stories.
