  • Creative Writing (Introduction)

    Virtual (Zoom)

    Class Schedule: September 25, 30, and October 7 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM
    Introduction to Creative Writing: Character Development: Whether you are embarking on your memoir or crafting your first work of fiction, the task of the writer is to develop compelling characters that connect with readers. Taking the “me out of memoir” allows you to develop your parents and loved ones as characters. In this three part course, we will utilize description, dialogue, and action to create characters that resonate with readers of any genre. No experience necessary, just a willingness to create characters to jump off the page!

    Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.
