Writers! Need a boost? Get your creative engine firing through this 6-week workshop for writers of all experience levels. In this fun and supportive class we’ll respond to a range of writing prompts aimed to loosen up and get your writing flowing. You will be supported to set a goal and design the structure that will ensure you meet your goal – whether it’s crafting your very first poem, submitting a poem to a journal, or finishing the draft of a novel that’s been on the backburner for a decade. I’ll share my extensive experience in project management, grant-writing and submissions to help you set – and meet – your goals. You can’t finish until you start!
