Try Something New! A Live Writing Workshop

July 1 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. IN PERSON at Takoma Bev.

A Writing Workshop in a Café?

With cocktails and mocktails?

Laughter and surprises?

To set creativity free?

Well, why not?

Join two veteran writing teachers, Sarah Pleydell and Michaele Weissman, for an in-person workshop for writers at every level. Discover new ways to let your creativity bloom in the spirit of lightheartedness and in play.

For this lighthearted class Pleydell and Weissman, who happen to be best buddies, have created writing prompts that encourage play and discovery. In a safe and contained environment, writers at every level can try new approaches, and take themselves by surprise. Students will write, discuss, and, if they wish, read from their work.

A complimentary beverage (glass of wine, beer or coffee bar beverage) is included in the ticket price. Additional food and drink are available for purchase.
