Each workshop will address the craft of writing across experience levels and across genres of fiction writing, non-fiction writing, and poetry as submissions dictate.
The workshop participants are given instruction in how to write and/or how to improve their writing. Along with this instruction comes constructive feedback from the workshop leader as well as the participants who share thoughts and knowledge with each other in a casual roundtable format.
