This workshop focuses on developing creative texts through processes of close reading, writing exercises, peer critique, and revision. Our main goals are to gain inspiration, to learn more about our individual voices and styles, to share work, to give and take productive criticism, to practice the skill of rewriting, to prepare texts for publication, and to acquire a greater appreciation for the art(s) of creative writing.
