Ignite the Writer Within ~ Dynamic Writing MasterClass

In a hands-on writing workshop designed for both beginners and those grappling with creative blocks, local short story author and workshop facilitator, Cindy Matthews, will provide a safe and supportive space for writers to explore and expand their skills.

Through a variety of scaffolded free-writing exercises, participants will respond to prompts without constraint or self-editing. Tapping into both memory and imagination, writers will unearth unexpected ideas and emotions. Following the hands-on portion of the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to unpack the workshop’s impact on them and their writing.


NOTE: Participants should provide their own pens and notebooks for this session.
