The Writers Circle:
Community and Critique for Creative Writing
Wednesday, 6:30 pm
January 13 – March 3 | Ages 16+

Class:

The Writer’s Circle is a place where all writers of all levels are welcome. If you’re looking for a chance to explore a desire to write in a supportive, friendly atmosphere, or to improve your craft through considered, constructive critique, the Writer’s Circle is the place for you. Each week, writers are invited to bring in a section of their written work that they wish to improve with their group. Writers of all kinds (poets, journalers, fiction / non-fiction writers, etc.) will have the opportunity to participate in fastwrite prompts, feedback discussions, and small group breakouts to share and receive responses to their brought work.

What You’ll Learn:

Newer writers will learn ways to explore their craft and find their writing voice. Experienced writers will learn new ways to approach their work from feedback from others, opening avenues for honing their craft and the craft of others.

All writers will learn mechanics of effective writing in their chosen format, methods for finding / refining their writing voice, best practices for giving and receiving constructive feedback, how to cultivate a “writer’s mind” in our daily lives, and pathways to developing a regular writing practice, pushing past writer’s block, and overcoming creative anxiety

What You’ll Leave With:

Student will leave with a better sense of their creative selves, more confidence in their writing ability, and a supportive community of writers to continue to help them flourish.
