Writing the Flood

Description

Writing the Flood
Open the gates and let your writing voice flow
A half-day, open-topic writing workshop!
Third Saturday of every month
beginning Saturday, June 19, 1pm

Writing The Flood is a writing group for anyone looking to prime the writing pump: using the Amherst Writers and Artists method, we will write together in response to exercises designed to get those pens moving, and get onto the page the stories, poems, essays, images and voices that have been stuck inside for too long. This is a time to work on a larger project, get started on new work, play on the page, or write yourself through a block and back into your writing voice. You can expect to end the day with: a several new pieces of creative writing, feedback from your peers about what's already strong in your new writing, and some new writerly community!.

Unless otherwise noted, this workshop meets on the third Saturday of the month. Come to the dates that work for you; no need to register for a series. Pre-registration is required: $25-50, sliding scale. Limited to 12 writers.

No previous writing experience necessary! Workshops held in San Francisco in an accessible space, a half-block from BART and on many MUNI lines. Pre-registration is required -- please write to [email protected] with questions or to register.
