Night Writers Workshop (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Facilitated by author and teacher Rick Holinger, this workshop welcomes writers of all abilities and genres. Topic: Teach me how to read.

Discussion topic this month: A famous writer, once asked by a student how to write better, instructed, “There are three ways: read, read, and read” (you might have also heard, “Write, write, write”). How do you read? Slowly? Skimming? Write marginalia? Read the same genre in which you are writing so you can be lifted up and encouraged by Stephen King or John Irving, or shun writing in the same genre so that you are not influenced by and don’t start sounding like King and Irving?

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.
