Scroll down to read more about the workshop and T.M. Hawley, our facilitator.
The Austerlitz Historical Society will be sponsoring two writing workshops for adults this winter. One for FICTION writing, on Tuesday evening, January 13, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, and one for Memoir writing, on Tuesday evening, February 10, also from 6:00 to 9:00 pm (assuming no blizzards are then in progress). [NOTE: A separate email invitation will be sent out for the Memoir Writing Workshop.] The workshops will take place in a room on the first floor of the Morey-Devereaux House.
Participants should bring writing materials (such as a laptop computer or pen and paper). The facilitator will provide an inkjet printer. During the workshop, participants will have the option of either writing a new piece of fiction/memoir or reworking a short (fewer than 1,000 words) piece that they have already drafted.
The workshops will begin with a conversation about fiction/memoir writing. For most of the workshop, participants will be writing and the facilitator will be available for individual discussions on the works in progress. The workshops will conclude with the participants critiquing each other’s efforts.
To make the most of the time we have available, and as a courtesy to other participants, please arrive sufficiently early to get settled prior to the 6:00 pm start.
