This creative writing workshop, created and led by Cassandra Lewis, is an opportunity for adult writers of all levels to share excerpts of their fictional works in progress in a welcoming environment and receive encouraging feedback. Using a writer-centered workshop method designed to foster cohesion and community, each writer will get to decide how layered their feedback will be. Another unique benefit of Cassandra’s workshop method is that homework is an optional extension of each writer’s individualized weekly writing goals. Writers are encouraged to continue writing and revising and to read published works that relate to their works in progress.

Writers in this workshop will build and refine a strategy to stay motivated and keep up the momentum by setting writing goals that fit within their real-life schedules. Reviewing the foundational story elements, writers will apply these concepts to their own work by responding to writing prompts focused on revision and expansion.

Writers should bring a notebook and a pen or a pencil, or a laptop.
