Getting Started - Workshop for Writers

Have you wanted to write and are not sure how to start? On Wednesday, February 13, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., at the Farmington Libraries, Ann Sheybani, Anne Batterson, and Sherry Horton, founders of the East Hill Writers’ Workshop, now three years old, are offering a FREE introduction to demonstrate how a workshop at East Hill functions. If you have always wanted to write but do not know what to write about or how to get started, or, for that matter, if anything worthwhile could come of your effort, give East Hill two hours of your time. This free workshop will take place at the main library at 6 Monteith Drive.


The good news is that everyone really can write and everyone really does have doubts about his or her creative abilities, even those of us who have been writing for years. Our GETTING STARTED workshop will help you get your words flowing on the page. In a series of quick, no-stress writing prompts, you won’t have time to fret. Instead, these activities create a fun, supportive environment for writing freely and for sharing only when and if you want to. Leaders will also provide prompts for writing at home, and offer a discussion about some elements of the craft of writing.


This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited; to register please call the library at 860-673-6791 or visit our web site at: http://www.farmingtonlibraries.org. Advanced registration is required.
