Ongoing Workshops, 2009-2010

Let go of the idea of the perfect poem or story and dive into the heady experience of writing in a supportive group. In this writers' community, begun in 2001, new and experienced writers learn from each other, write in class, study literature and respond to drafts in an atmosphere of listening, acceptance and trust. Come join us. The goal is to work from the fluid place of memory and imagination, without fear, and to learn to write honestly, sensually and with authority.

Visiting poets, nonfiction writers and novelists include Karen Chamberlain, James Van Pelt, Lyn Fraser, Danny Rosen and Wendy Videlock.

One full community scholarship available per semester.

Schedule:  The workshop meets every other week in downtown G.J. on Tuesday or Thursday nights, 6-9:30 p.m.

Tuesdays:   Women’s class.
Thursdays: All writers.

Cost:  $310/semester ($295 for continuing students or if paid a month before class).
Credit:  Two college credits available per semester.

" Fabulous class. I really appreciated your graciousness and generosity of spirit. I particularly loved the reading materials. Very inspirational, beautifully crafted writing. I found the writing exercises very challenging, and it felt good to be challenged."
