Workshops are open to all at public libraries or are held at Rikers, nursing homes, community centers, alternative high schools, parks, etc.\n\nWhat you'll get: In response to specific writing prompts, me-time to write and if you so desire, share it with us for affirmative feedback. I will provide instructions. We'll likely do two writing rounds.\n\nWho's welcome: you, your kids, your spouse, etc.\n\nWhat you will need: a notepad, pen/pencil, a willingness to trust your voice, and encourage each other.
