New Writing Club Will Begin December 4 at Pasadena Senior Center

A free writing club open to members of the Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly St., will meet at 10 a.m. every Tuesday beginning Dec. 4. Prior writing experience is not required.

The instructor, Dr. Sam Eisenstein, will lead participants through the process of writing in each of their preferred genres, from memoirs to fiction. He will provide feedback and suggestions as participants present their finished works to the group each week.

Eisenstein taught creative writing from 1961 to 2017 at Los Angeles City College, where he also served as the advisor on the English Department’s annual literary journal The Citadel. He is a Fulbright scholar who taught for one year in Japan. He has published novels, collections of stories, essays and poetry.

Another free writing club that began in 2015 is led by Esther Gilles and meets the first and third Friday of every month at 1 p.m.
