Detailed description

In this creative writing workshop, Rachel Kobin provides prompts and exercises designed to spark your imagination. Following the prompts is optional. You are always free to write about whatever you’d like, including something you’re currently writing. After writing for an unspecified amount of time, I ring a bell and everyone has a few minutes to wrap up what they’ve been writing. 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 when light refreshments are served, Rachel makes announcements, and we discuss questions and concerns about writing and publishing. Then we go back to writing and reading aloud.

The setting is supportive and encourages experimentation with all aspects of writing. The workshop lets you explore and strengthen your voice, and discover stories or topics you want to write about.

The workshop is appropriate for writers of all levels who want to write in any form (prose, poetry, screen/playwriting) and any genre.
