Revision Intensive
This workshop offers an opportunity for poets, memoirists and writers of creative nonfiction to share their work and get in-depth feedback.
In each of the four sessions, students will have an extended period to present a few poems or an excerpt of their longer writing. The entire group will work together to assess and evaluate.
Students will benefit from giving and receiving feedback, and hearing the suggestions for each other's work. Lauren will also offer ongoing revision tips and ideas throughout the discussions.

Need a Writing Mentor?
Do you crave one-on-one assistance to begin or complete a creative writing project? Are you better served with personal guidance rather than a group setting?
Lauren can work directly with you to shape an idea that you just haven’t been able to move along. Email her for more info.
Word Play/Word Power
Want to express yourself but don’t know how to begin? Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a novice, a blank page can seem intimidating. In this class, stunning examples, intriguing prompts and class discussions lead you gently into the realms of poetry, memoir and fiction. Write, read and be heard.
Writer as Witness
This class is designed to explore personal memories or political/historical/current events at a deep level.
Through writing exercises, readings and discussion, students will have the opportunity to take on subjects that may have eluded them before.
These four sessions go beyond prompts.
They open up the chance for in-depth, poetic consideration of a single theme or topic, and provide remarkable examples for expressing that hard-to-handle subject.
Cut-ups and Collage
This workshop brings out the wild artist and easy writer in everyone. Draw a poem, write a picture, get around the fear of the blank page. Find poems in the leftovers from everyday life. Beautiful projects have resulted.
Ages 10 and up.
