Practicing Creative Writing Techniques Across Genres to Expand Your Craft
If you’ve wanted to travel to Italy with a group of like-minded writing enthusiasts (all levels of experience and publications welcome!), our writer’s workshop in Lake Garda is a wonderful opportunity. During seven days in Italy, you’ll enjoy morning writing workshops and readings, afternoon excursions with time to wander and write, and one-on-one writing consults with instructors Sheila Bender and Brenda Miller.
Bring your laptop, tablet, or just pen and paper, along with curiosity about sub-genres new to you and an appetite for Italian vistas. You are guaranteed to come away enchanted, unblocked on writing that has been troubling you, and loaded with new work.
