Night Writers Workshop (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Facilitated by author and teacher Rick Holinger, this workshop welcomes writers of all abilities and genres. Topic: Genre Challenge.

Discussion topic this month: Authors who write in more than one genre will testify how each one feeds the other. For instance, a dramatist who’s also a novelist will improve her dialogue and perhaps learn to write better plots; the poet teaches the nonfiction writer the importance of word choice and rhythm and in return picks up on what might be material for poetic fodder. Understanding you don’t need to submit your work for critique, allow yourself to experiment with a different form, voice, length, genre, whatever, than you’re comfortable with.

The Night Writers Workshop discusses various topics within writing and provides a welcoming environment for peer feedback. The program is organized into two sections, critique of submitted manuscripts and discussion of writing topics. For more information on submitting a manuscript, please visit the Night Writer's Guidelines.
