The NH Writers’ Project’s Impressive Schedule of Events
Leading into the holidays, the NWHP focuses on poetry, Scrivener, characters and festivities

The New Hampshire Writers’ Project (NHWP), a statewide organization that promotes New England writers’ works and provides professional development for authors of all genres and experience levels, announced its pre-holidays line-up of events.
The organization is focusing on the art of poetry in a two-session workshop series, “The Language of Poetry.” These classes are taking place on Saturdays, November 23, 2019 and December 7, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Award-winning poet Deborah Brown will be presenting. This series is focused on image, metaphor and simile. Participants will review examples of contemporary poetry and will critique their own work in session two.
On Wednesday, December 4 from 7 to 8 p.m., the NHWP is hosting a webinar presented by Alison Murphy. In the “Scrivener Workshop,” Murphy will provide an overview of the robust writing software. Scrivener is intended to help writers organize their thoughts, improve their writing process, and finish their manuscript. The tool is so large that it can be overwhelming without experience and tips from an expert.
