Writer's Workshop

$55

with Kristin Leonard

Calendar Mar 5, 2025 at 6:30 pm

Join us this spring for a 6-week writer’s workshop. In this session, we will address the concepts of Time and Place in our stories, poems, and plays. More specifically, how do they impact the scenes that unfold and the images we create, in both our earliest, developing rough drafts and in our polished, almost-final revisions? 

 Participants will write and/or revise their pieces and together we will examine successful writing strategies and tricks of the trade. And most of all, we will discover that writing can be fun!

Kristin holds a Masters in English (Literature), as well as an M. F. A. in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine. She is the 2019 recipient of the Maine Literary Award for Drama and Lit Fest’s 2019 Dramatic Writing Fellow for Emerging Writers. Her critical and creative work have appeared in The Explicator, Ekphrastic Review, The Atlantic, New Hampshire Public Radio, and more. Follow her at kristinjleonard.com
