From Inspiration to Publication Writing Workshop
A Workshop with author and poetry slam champion Demi Anter
This two hour workshop, based on Demi’s popular online course by the same name, is geared towards writing newcomers who want to take their first steps towards creative writing, as well as anyone looking to kick start their practice after a break from writing. All writers will begin by crafting narratives from personal experience, learning how to mine their immediate environments for inspiration, and then move into various other forms of writing. The course will also cover constructive critique and pathways to publication.
Who is the workshop for?
All types of writing and writers are welcome: Exercises will be flexible for both poets and prose writers. Most importantly, we hope everyone will come away with a newfound sense of freedom and joy around writing, as well as concrete skills to continue to hone your craft and find inspiration.
