Creative Writing Summer Workshop

Join us for a fun and exciting Creative Writing Summer Workshop series!

We'll meet once a week via Zoom, and our time together will be fun and productive -- we'll read and discuss interesting poetry and prose, learn new writing techniques, write together, and share and discuss our work. There's no homework, but you are encouraged to write on your own, share what you'd like, and give feedback to others. 

Even if you can't attend all of the sessions, consider joining us when you can! Use the following links to register for the workshop and join the Google Classroom. 

Please don't hesitate to email me at antoso@cristoreyjesuit.org with questions, concerns, or ideas. I hope to see you at one or more workshop sessions this summer!
