Places, real and imagined, often provide a starting point for fiction, poetry, essay, or memoir. In this workshop we’ll try writing a couple of (very) short pieces about places we’re familiar with and then explore how such writing can serve as a starting point for longer works.
Places we know well often provide a powerful entry point for fiction, poetry, essays, and memoir. Guided by Don, participants will experiment with writing short pieces rooted in familiar locations, paying close attention to how language, memory, and imagination bring those places to life on the page.
Together, the group will discuss how brief place-based writing can open pathways to longer works and deeper exploration. This workshop invites participants to consider how setting can function not just as background, but as an active force in storytelling.
No registration is required, but space is limited. This workshop is geared toward writers of all levels and genres. Please bring writing materials, such as a notebook and pen.
