A Writer's Workshop

$55

with Kristin Leonard, Ellsworth Adult and Community Education

Calendar Mar 5, 2025 at 6:30 pm, runs for 6 weeks

Do you want to improve your writing skills for work? Write a poem to your beloved or finish that family memoir? Or maybe you’ve considered writing a script? If so, come join us in this 6-week writer’s workshop where we will explore a variety of writing genres. 

In this session, we will be taking some time to address the concepts of Time and Place in our stories, poems, and plays. More specifically, how do they impact the scenes that unfold and the images we create, in both our earliest, developing rough drafts and in our polished, almost final revisions?  This is a live, online class using ZOOM.

A. in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine.  She is the 2019 recipient of the Maine Literary Award for Drama and Lit Fest’s 2019 Dramatic Writing Fellow for Emerging Writers. Her critical and creative works have appeared in The Explicator, Ekphrastic Review, The Atlantic, New Hampshire Public Radio, and more.
