Cancelled Series- Poetry/Non-fiction Writing Workshop with Celia Drill 3.4.25

Sorry – This has cancelled due to instructor illness. Please join Celia Drill on Tuesdays nights in March for her poetry and creative non-fiction workshop. Celia is trained as a journalist and is a published poet who has taught creative writing at a variety of colleges and universities throughout California. She will employ her favorite strategies from those classes in the hopes of creating a wonderful writing community. Writers from novice to seasoned are welcomed, and writers can either bring pieces to workshop or create new ones or both. Writers are also welcome to attend workshop without sharing pieces, in order to support other members. Classes will begin with writing prompts for a chance to create new work, followed by workshop. Writers can ask for feedback and will control the process. Pieces can be shaped toward publication, and publication discussed as well as a general topic. Celia will focus on the strengths in each piece of writing and helping the writer hone their work. Openness, positivity and encouragement are foundational in Celia’s workshops.
