Free and open to the public
Registration encouraged
Whether you're a beginning, practiced, or published writer, this workshop is for you and offers a kaleidoscope of methods and motivations to start and keep writing. Craft-driven, positive, collegial and with a dose of levity, Sterling's workshops are for any writer in any genre looking to keep writing while learning more about the craft of writing while spending time in good company.
In addition to vetting novel and interesting strategies on how to start and keep writing, this workshop will offer a couple prompts and writing time. Looking forward to seeing and hearing what you create.
