Imagine all the fun you can have WRITING this winter!
WINTER SESSION: January 24 – April 10
Our winter session has workshops for all ages, at all skill levels, and in practically every literary genre you can think of.
Due to the Omicron variant’s increased infection rate, we are shifting to fully virtual instruction for the first month of the Winter session for all our in-person and hybrid classes. We will reassess as the situation evolves and hope to return to in-person classes by March.
Creative Writing is a great escape for Kids, Tweens & Teens:
- Story Magic (grades 3-5)
- Tween Writers Circle (grades 6-8)
- Teen Writers Circle (grades 9-12)
Here’s just some of what we have in store for Adults:
- Screenwriting – Tuesday nights with Allie Dvorin – You don’t have to live in Hollywood to develop a great idea for the big screen.
- Exploring Poetry – Monday nights with Jared Harel – If you’re inspired by Amanda Gorman, Billy Collins, Joy Harjo, or Emily Dickinson, discover your poetic voice in this generative workshop.
- Creating KidLit – Thursday nights with Mike Allegra – Whether you’re thinking of a picture book, chapter book, or middle-grade novel, learn how to write for young readers from a kid-lit pro.

TWC’s 2022 Speaker Events Are Our Best Yet!
Building Emotional Endurance as a Writer with Bonnie Friedman
February 27 @ 2PM
The writer’s life is full of challenges. Rejection. Envy. Perfectionism. The need to keep faith with one’s work even as it loses its old focus and develops a new one. Success in writing depends, for most mortals, on possessing a combination of talent and psychological fortitude. This workshop will focus on how you can cultivate the strength to weather setbacks and to discover, in the struggles, the seeds of new habits that can help you continue forward.
Bonnie Friedman is the author of the bestselling Writing Past Dark: Envy, Fear, Distraction, and Other Dilemmas in the Writer’s Life (HarperCollins) currently in its 28th printing, and recently named one of the eleven “Essential Books for Writing” by The Center for Fiction and one of “The Best Books for Writers” by Poets & Writers.
