Writing Opportunities for the Savannah Community
Our creative writing workshops support writers at every level and talent and from all backgrounds.
Participants will explore essential techniques of the genre through analysis of published works, various writing exercises, and group discussions. Each student will receive personalized feedback from a seasoned writer enabling them to develop new skills and to complete a piece of longer-form writing by the course's end.
The workshop promotes individual productivity within a nurturing and collaborative environment. Students will emerge feeling more confident in their writing and connected to a supportive community of fellow writers. Ultimately, students will have a stronger sense of their own voice and the unique stories that they may create.
