Adult Writers’ Studio is a welcoming and creative community of serious writers 18+ who gather in person or virtually to share and discuss their writing, participate in generative exercises, provide/receive feedback about each other’s work, engage in topical discussions, and support each other through peer motivation and kind, constructive criticism. Adult Writers’ Studio is open to writers of all genres.
Led by experienced facilitators, Adult Writers’ Studio has two separate groups: the in-person group meets every other Tuesday evening at Thurber Center and is led by Marty Ross-Dolen, and the virtual group meets every other Wednesday on Zoom and is led by Jen Knox.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Adult Writers’ Studio meetings are inclusive and supportive of as many writers as possible by focusing on topics, tools, techniques, prompts, exercises, discussion, and feedback that apply to a wide range of writers' needs and interests.
Most meetings begin with discussion and generative exercises, followed by time for peer feedback/workshopping pieces. There is an informal sign up process to workshop your pieces, and we ask that you send your work to us ahead of time so we can distribute it to group members. This ensures that your peers come to the meeting having already read and made notes about your work, and the meeting time can be fully devoted to discussing that feedback. Participants are expected to be honest, kind, and constructive when giving feedback—we are not here to tear each other down.
