Restless Writers Workshop for Beginners

This lay-led workshop is designed for amateur writers, such as yourself, looking for a supportive and encouraging setting to share your writing, give and get feedback, discuss your writing issues and nurture your writing skills. The focus is on stories, in the form of a memoir, biography, short story or novel; fiction, or nonfiction. It is also focused on personal essays that capture life’s reflections, observations and lessons. Areas not included are poetry, plays or journalism. Each week, we will also discuss a writing topic such as voice, target audience, characters, hooks, show-don’t-tell, editing, story arc, and others.
