Class will be held online using ZOOM.

Do you want to improve your writing skills for work? How about writing a poem to your beloved, or finishing that family memoir? Maybe you’ve considered writing a script? If so, please come join us in this 6-week writer’s workshop where we will explore a variety of writing genres.

This fall, our focus will be on STORIES—both real and imagined. In this class, we will analyze the elements of effective storytelling, including (but not limited to) plot, character, scene, point of view, voice, and tone. Participants will write and/or revise their stories of choice and together we will examine successful writing strategies and tricks of the trade. And most of all, we will discover that writing can be fun!

Kristin holds a Master’s in English (Literature), as well as an M. F. A. in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine. She is the 2019 recipient of the Maine Literary Award for Drama and Lit Fest’s 2019 Dramatic Writing Fellow for Emerging Writers.
