WELCOME TO THE HVWC CALENDAR: home of all our upcoming readings, events and workshops. You can view by list or calendar (see right menu to choose).

The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.

Diving Deep / Explorations in Memoir & Creative Nonfiction a Master Class with Mindy Lewis (via Zoom)

June 17 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm

$130.00
Imagine a duck gliding across a pristine lake, following the currents, nibbling at specks on the surface. Suddenly, it dives down, disappearing from view, and resurfaces minutes later to resume its journey. Join me and fellow writers on a shared journey to dive deep down to explore the essential themes of your life’s stories that can be the underpinnings of structure. We will harness elements of craft—sensory details, compelling language, evocative imagery, scene, dialogue, inner voice—to create, share and discuss resonant, personal, powerful writing. Handouts and writing prompts will provide inspiration.

NB: This class will be taught on Zoom and will be capped at 15 students. Registrants will receive the Zoom link to the email address they use to register. It will arrive immediately after registration so please check your spam folder if you do not receive it. It will also be sent the day before class as a reminder. Please review the course policies page before registering for any classes. Please email ask @writerscenter.org with any questions.
