I’ll be teaching a prompt writing class in July, at Politics
& Prose Bookstore. I’m especially excited because I’m using a new book for
a prompt base and I’m trying out a new format…a series of stand-alone classes
that will focus (broadly) on a specified topic. First up: PEOPLE!
Here are the details:
Monday, July 11, 6:30 – 9 p.m.
Politics & Prose Bookstore
5015 Connecticut Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20008
Price:
$45 (10% off for P&P members)
Explore your creative side safely in this session, one of a
series of stand-alone prompt classes. We'll focus on writing about the people
in our lives, including ourselves. The class offers discussion and writing
exercises designed to get your subconscious flowing. No writing experience necessary!
This is a great class for beginners and also for those fiction writers and/or
memoirists with more experience who might be stuck in their current project and
looking for a jolt of inspiration. The goal is to have fun in a supportive,
nurturing environment and to go home with several promising pieces to work on
further. Please bring lots of paper and pen/pencil or a fully charged computer.
NOTE: New book and all new exercises! Returning participants welcome!
Book:
The Vintage Book of
Contemporary American Poetry, ed. by J.D. McClatchy
* Please note: Though this is a poetry book, you are not
required to write poetry.

I’ll paraphrase someone who attended my last session: “I
thought this would be scary, but it was so fun!”
