Our WRITERS’ LAB is back!

September 7, 2021November 18, 2021| in Art Classes, Artist Community, COVID-19| by Heidi Jumper
Wednesday Writers' Lab
The Writers’ Lab is a weekly drop-in workshop for authors of all genres that meets from 5:30-7:00 PM, Wednesdays on Zoom, and is led by local poet and writer, Amanda Chiado.

Participants will be given flexible space to imagine, experiment and refine their craft.  Writers should be prepared to discover their creativity through discussion, peer to peer mentoring, writing sparks, book sharing, and guest author talks.  Writers are welcome to bring working pieces, exciting writing prompts, and examples of stellar work to share.

A $5/drop-in fee is collected to bring in guest authors and fund special writers’ events.

Register to participate.

For more information, please contact Amanda at amandachiado@gmail.com or 831.636.2787
