REMOTE, COLLABORATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS

Remote Writing Workshops for Youth, Teen, & Adult Writers

 

I am pleased to offer regular writing workshops.   I have moved to a remote format using Google Classroom and Google Meet until further notice.  


Google tools are free to use and easy to access.   If you need a bit of support before our first session, I'm happy to help.   Instructions and materials for each remote event will be sent via Google Classroom in advance of each session.  We will video conference, live and in real time, using Google Meet.


Additional workshops are available through our community partners in Westport, Farmington, and Wethersfield, CT.


If you have a unique interest or need, reach out!  I am happy to help! 


Hope to see you online - a place where we can still get together and have some fun doing what we love - write!
