Our next class will take place on April 30, Saturday - 10:30 - 4:30 with break for lunch. Coffee and tea is provided. Students bring their own lunch.

JoAnn Loverde-Dropp, MFA graduate of Spalding University, will teach a class on Poetry Memoir. The cost of the class is $38.00.

Anyone who is interested in writing their memories will find this an interesting method to tell your stories.

Ronda Birtha will help us learn how to use Social Media to promote our writing in three classes taught May 14, June 11, and July 23. These will be Saturday classes 10:30 - 1:30. Read more about this class at www.glendacouncilbeall.blogspot.com

 

I began Writers Circle (apostrophe left out deliberately) to help beginning writers gain confidence and validation for their efforts, and to help advanced writers share their expertise as teachers. Most of our instructors are members of NCWN West (Netwest).

We writers gather around the table in my studio, a comfortable and cozy atmosphere (no fragrance allowed) to share our work with each other, to find answers to questions about writing, publishing,even reading our writing out loud.Some of our students bring goodies to share.

 

Future classes this summer include Spritual Writing with Paul Donovan, Poetry with Rosemary Royston, and workshops for those who write memoir, family stories, or who want to learn more about creative writing. Those classes are taught by me, Glenda Beall, beginning Wednesday, June 15 and on consecutive Wednesdays for six weeks.
