Free Wednesday Writing Workshop Series at the Truckee Library on the third Wednesday of July, August, and September - for all ages and abilities

 

I'm so excited to offer this series of free creative writing workshops at the Truckee Library this summer! Thanks to a grant from the Nevada County Arts Council and the Truckee Cultural District, this workshop series can offer a creative space for writers of all ages and experience levels to explore new approaches to being creative on the page. Come to as many workshops as you want. These workshops include prompts that can lead to any form of writing - poetry, fiction, memoir, even songwriting. Of course, light refreshments are included!

Each workshop is the third Wednesday of the month from 5:30 - 7 pm.

Our first workshop is July 17th and our theme is Music and Poetry. Write a new poem (or two). Ever thought of writing a song to go along with your poem? We'll consider rhythm and rhyme, melody and harmony, in poems and learn how writers can use music to drive the writing process. 

On August 21st we'll focus on Science and Poetry. Find ways to connect with science, nature, the cosmos, to write poems that evoke emotion for our shared experiences. Any science geeks out there?

Finally, September 18th, our theme is Journey and Story. In this workshop, we will discover new techniques to write about your own journey or a fictional one, a journey within or to another place.

The Truckee Library address is 10031 Levon Ave, Truckee, CA 96161. (530) 582-7846
