Description
It’s time to banish the myth of the solitary artist. From The Socrates School to the South Side Writers, many literary greats produced their most well-known works with the support of a close circle of other writers.
The good news is attending an intensive workshop, or MFA program is not the only way to bond with a cohort of writers, grow your craft, and keep motivated to finish your project. Introvert? No problem. Not sure what goes on at a critique table? We’ve got you. No writers in your area? Let’s get online!
This 60-minute webinar will give you strategies for finding (or assembling) a group of writers to form your inner circle, strategies for working together, and tips for keeping going together through challenging times.
This class meets once for one hour in webinar format. Video/microphones are not required to participate. No advance preparation is required for this class.
