WRITING TOGETHER: FINDING YOUR VOICE
WIth Deborah Nedelman

Requested donation: $40 for the four session class

Something magical happens when we write in the company of others and when we feel safe enough to read our raw, unedited work aloud. Come join us in creating magic with your words!
Using the Amherst Writers and Artists Method (AWA), developed by poet Pat Schneider, Deborah fosters an environment of safety, support, and stimulation that will encourage and nurture the writer within you. We will write in response to prompts and will read our work aloud. This is not a critique group. We are invited to read our work in order to hear our own words and to learn what is strong in our work.
This group is designed for:
v shy writers and those who don’t think they are writers
v those who want to write but have not found the time or space
v experienced writers who want to experiment with different forms
v unpublished, exploring writers looking for a supportive, safe place to expand their writing
v ages 15 and above
Come prepared to write. You are encouraged to write by hand—pen on paper or in a journal. Laptops are acceptable if necessary.
