Young Writers Workshops: Fishing for the Writer Within This non-stop, right-on workshop for writers has proven delightful and effective for writers from seven to seventy. The workshop is loosely based on the theory and practices of the Amherst Writers and Artists Collective and on Natalie Goldberg’s book Writing Down the Bones. From it writers will take the making and beginnings of a personal essay, a poem, a story, and a nonfiction piece. Easily tailored to any level of age or experience, this fast-paced workshop will help anyone fish for and catch -- the writer within. Ninety minutes minimum. Twenty writers maximum. $250
Writing for Children This class on writing for children includes writing exercises, resources and contacts, discussion, and advice from the trenches. High school and up. Sixty minutes minimum. Fifty people maximum. $250
