Excellent writing is almost always the result of a strong writer’s voice. But what, exactly, is that voice and how do we find it? We will use specific, targeted writing prompts to help unearth your own writing voice, and you will learn how to strengthen it, and use it to your advantage in all your creative writing. We will look at examples of voice in published works, do LOTS of in-class writing, and create a safe space to share aloud. BRING – a laptop or plenty of paper and pen.
