​Wednesdays, April 16, 23 and 30. 6-7:30pm
​
$200 with scholarships available.
These Sunday morning classes are for adults wanting to get into writing or back into writing. They are geared towards people of all experience levels and are meant to be fun and generative. We will read short excerpts and then write using prompts designed to be engaging. You will leave class with several pieces of writing you can continue working on at home, if you'd like!
