Description

We all have unique "writing voices," but often we can't really "hear" those voices ourselves, even when others can. This workshop will aim to help you hear the sound of your authentic writing voice, because once you feel secure with the individuality of your voice, you'll grow immeasurably as a writer. This workshop will emphasize writing with concrete details, description and dialogue, along with a healthy dose of "silliness, wackiness, and playfulness" to balance the serious stuff. "You'll be given permission to write anything you want," says Chris, "in order to discover the joy and spontaneity of creating from the internal "dream space" of the imagination, and to more deeply explore the question: "What do I have to say as a writer?"

Based on the Amherst Writers and Artists method, this workshop encourages a sense of safety and mutual trust among participants. Chris DeLorenzo has an MA in creative writing and is a certified Amherst Writers and Artists method (AWA) facilitator.
