March 6, 13, 20 & 27 – A Different Engine: Ways to Power Your Writing

This hands-on writing workshop with Sheila Packa is designed for writers to explore different “engines” that power a piece of writing and strengthen the voice of a poem or the voice of a character. The primary focus over the 4 weeks will be on Image , Voice, Character and Setting. Participants will have an opportunity to share their work and get feedback.

April 8 – Virtual Writers’ Café

Pour a cup of coffee or tea and join us for a monthly meetup with fellow writers. We’ll chat about our current writing projects, learn about upcoming events and opportunities for writers, and share the ups and downs of our writing lives. All are welcome.

This month’s topic is The Backstory on Blogging. Our guest expert, Marie Zhuikov, will lead the discussion on blogging for writers, including setting one up, maintaining a schedule, finding your audience and more.

April 15 – Get in your Character’s Brain: Psychology’s Gift to Inspiring and Engaging Characters

By taking elements of developmental psychology and pathology, we will link models of human development and storytelling, giving us a chance to shine a new light on life events. We will also spend some time in writing character descriptions based on personality traits suggested by the presentations of material in the workshop.
