YEAH BUT . . . what exactly happens in a workshop?

Using the Amherst Writers & Artists method, you'll be given a prompt meant to hit one or more of the five senses (taste, touch, sight, sound, smell).

*We’ll write free-style for a timed amount of time (between 7-15min).

*We’ll come back together as a group and voluntarily share our writing aloud.

*We’ll respond and give feedback in only a positive, supportive manner, since everything written is considered raw, fresh and fragile.

*We also treat all writing like fiction, which protects the writer, as well as the writing.

By the end of the night, you’ll walk away with lots of your own writing.
