The Writers' Workshop is a seminar-type class for people currently writing in any genre, who are interested in giving and receiving thoughtful criticism. Enrollment is limited so that twice in the 6-week session, each student can read from his or her work and hear the responses of class and instructor. Rewriting is not required but it is encouraged. Enrollment limit: 12. Prerequisite: One writing class at OLLI or elsewhere.
