Short Story Writing Workshop at Harper Starts Saturday 3/19

Attention Writers in Need of Inspiration and Collaboration - There is still time to register and join our Short Story Workshop at Harper

Explore your own self-expression through the art of writing short stories. These little gems are so versatile - fill your journals, post on blogs, share with friends and family, enter contests and get published. Yet, just because they are short does not mean they are simple. Learn the dynamics of short story writing in this workshop.

We will read short works for inspiration, discuss the art of writing short stories and create our own writings. Supportive group critique will be part of our process as you help critique the works of your peers in this writers group. Bring your favorite notebook and writing instrument! No class 3/26
