A detailed description of how the Tuesday Night Writing Workshop is structured
In the Tuesday Night Writing Workshop, we write together for the first half of the three hours. The facilitator offers prompts and exercises designed to spark your imagination. Then, most participants choose to read what they just wrote aloud. The group listens and offers feedback about what stood out and what they found memorable about the writing. At this point, listeners provide only positive feedback because no one has had a chance to edit.
After a short break, the facilitator makes announcements, and we talk about writing concerns we share. In the last hour or so, we discuss manuscripts polished by workshop members on their own time. These conversations occur according to a schedule agreed upon by the group.
The setting is supportive and encourages experimentation with all aspects of writing. The workshop lets you explore and strengthen your voice, find stories or topics you want to write about, and develop these pieces with constructive feedback from other writers.
Following the prompts is optional. You are always free to write about whatever you’d like, including something you’re currently writing.
Submitting a manuscript is also optional. Sometimes people come to the workshop with nothing they want to submit. Then a piece they write during the workshop becomes the work they choose to expand on and hand in.
Writing a novel, screenplay, TV Pilot, play, a collection of short stories, or a memoir?
If receiving in-depth feedback from other writers working on full-length manuscripts would help you finish your project, the Manuscript Workshop may be the right place for you. We meet at The Resiliency Center in Flourtown on Thursdays from 7-10 p.m. Writing sample and invitation required. Learn more.
