Instructor Nora Boxer

Thursdays, 6:00pm-8:00pm, 4/8/21-5/6/21

Both fiction writers and poets are welcome in the Lab, where we come together as practicing writers, each of us bringing our works-in-progress or starting something new. 

Part of each workshop session is reserved for simply writing together, giving us structure and discipline to work on our projects in virtual community. We also do a weekly generative creative writing exercise that helps us warm up and stretch our words in new directions. We look to published works for inspiration, and talk about issues of craft and narrative as they arise, tailoring these conversations and skill-building to meet the needs of the participants in the group. 

Those who have taken previous creative writing workshops are welcome here, as is anyone who wants to get some writing done in a partially-self-directed, virtual-yet-community-based setting. 

Please note the Lab is repeatable, so if you were in a previous Lab, you're welcome to come again.

Materials list: Pen and paper

Students will need a computer or smart phone with webcam and microphone, internet and web streaming capacity, and the Zoom application installed to their device.
