Writing Workshop

The Newtonville Writing Workshop is a one-day workshop that meets at the bookstore on the third Saturday of each month from 11am-1pm except in December. The fee for the one-day workshop is twenty ($20) dollars. These workshops use NAMING THE WORLD: AND OTHER EXERCISES FOR THE CREATIVE WRITER by Bret Anthony Johnston, director of the Harvard University creative writing program. Each workshop will focus on a particular aspect of writing and the instructor will lead the workshop through various writing exercises.
