Writers Weekend: The Writer’s World *

In this workshop led by Noelia Cerna, participants will explore the definition of writing as a lifetime practice and write to prompts designed around this concept.

Participants will be given space to create work and share it in an encouraging environment.

This workshop is part of our new annual Writers Weekend series for adults interested in writing and publishing their work, including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and journalistic writing of all lengths and styles. Join us to sharpen your skills, connect with fellow writers, and take the next step toward publication!
