Tuesday, September 08
6:00pm - 8:30pm

Facilitated by author and teacher Rick Holinger, this workshop welcomes writers of all abilities and genres. This month's topic: The Triggering Town

Discussion topic this month: Poet Richard Hugo’s slim book focuses on the creative trigger(s) of a poem—or any other literary work, for that matter- and how that initial spark, to mix metaphors, explodes into a creative act. Where do your triggers come from? What do you do with them? How do they develop into something more than ideation? What advice can you give members if they are having trouble coming up with ideas?

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.
