Presented by our current artist-in-residence, Writer and Teaching Artist Christine Koubek Flynn, join us for this introductory writing workshop. Life challenges, relationships, identity, interests—these are just a few of the subjects personal essays explore. In this 90-minute workshop we’ll examine short published essays, and 'college essays that worked' to illuminate the ways imagery, dialogue, scene and structure transform a personal experience into a compelling story. In session writing prompts will help you generate ideas and essay beginnings.
Registration is required to attend as there are limited spots for this workshop. Please register below!
