Writing For Pleasure -A generative, multi genre, drop in writing workshop.

We all have voices to share. Explore your creative writing voice in this drop in workshop. 

This workshop is open to all levels of writing expertise. It’s a no red pen environment, meaning that you will only receive constructive criticism if asked. We are writing for our own pleasure after all. 

Each week we will read materials together that help us with the writing prompt and spend time in a welcoming, comfortable, small group environment.
