Writing Workshops:
Festival of Words Workshops offer a chance for participants to learn from established authors. Authors will lead students through invention techniques, helping them to write their own poem or prose. The sessions will not include critique-only writing, but they will provide guidance and inspiration, and will present an opportunity to share your workshop writing if you wish.
Workshops will be held on Saturday, November 7 at the Armand J. Brinkhaus Community Library and are available on a 1st come, 1st served basis. To reserve a place, sign up for the desired workshop on festivalofwords.org
