Night Writers Workshop (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Facilitated by author and teacher Rick Holinger, this workshop welcomes writers of all abilities and genres. This month's topic: Who am I?

Discussion topic this month: Today, there is a debate over whether authors have the ability—or the right—to assume they can or should write about a character other than their own gender, age, race, background, etc. We’ll discuss the best examples from the past (Madame Bovary, The Scarlet Letter, etc.) and share our own experiences with writing characters with backgrounds unlike our own.

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 Night Writer Guidelines.
