Workshops
About the Workshops
Workshops are an opportunity for groups of writers to gather with one of SBWC’s faculty members to explore a specific genre, style, or area of writing. Individual workshop activities vary somewhat, but most share a mixture of instruction, manuscript reading, and reader critique. Workshops are designed to help you improve your writing, and provide a rich learning environment regardless of your previous writing experience.
