Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

We often hear the pros urge us to identify our unique writer’s voice and use it well, but what is that voice and how do we locate it? Through specific, targeted writing prompts, this course will help you to detect your own elusive voice, and then learn how to build on it, strengthen it, and use it to your advantage in all your creative writing. We will look at examples of voice in published works and do LOTS of in-class writing. *One week before class begins, email instructor a writing sample (1000 words or less) that will only be shared in class if you feel comfortable. BRING – laptop or plenty of paper and pen. This 4-week class will meet once/week for 2 hours.
