SUMMARY:Spring Writers Group 2
DESCRIPTION:A weekly writers’ group focused on creating community by mutually reading and discussing each other’s work. Each session will begin with a free write. This is very loose and allows for some flexibility for people to arrive after the start. After this\, we will jump into the critique\, which will be split into two sections. In Section One\, the writer cannot speak and will listen to the initial reactions from everyone else in the group for 30 minutes. In Section Two\, the author will have the opportunity to respond to the critique and ask any questions they would like clarification on. Both sections are very conversational! Fiction or creative nonfiction only (1500-3000 words). Hosted by Maxx Zenisek and Carly Travis.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop session is currently FULL. Next sign up opens in June.
