Writing Workshop: Changing Perspective
$50 per person
In this workshop we'll examine point of view. How do you decide whether to write in the first person or the third? How do you enter the point of view of someone from a different culture or time, or even just someone who saw the same events from a different angle? Through in-class exercises and discussion, we'll examine what happens when you change perspective. Register Here
Sponsorship of the Author Series made possible by
Annette Januzzi Wick and Mark D. Manley, with
gratitude for 25 years of Women Writing for (a) Change

In our core classes, facilitators offer writing prompts and resources, and encourage participants to choose and develop their own subject matter. Classes allow for personal writing time, sharing in large and small groups, guidance in giving and receiving useful, positive feedback, and opportunities to read aloud to an audience.
Programs for Young Women
Classes and camps use the art of writing and other arts to enhance self-esteem and build skills in creative self-expression.
Specialty Workshops
Various workshops throughout the year focus on a specific topic or explore other forms of creativity in addition to writing.
