Spring 2027 Writing Classes

Memoir & Personal Essays

Have you ever had an urge to write about your life stories or thought-provoking experiences? What’s stopping you from writing? Many of us are hindered by time. During these five classes, we’ll write and read our stories and offer feedback and support to each other. Whether you’re new to writing or have unfinished work, this class provides the time and encouragement to get you writing.
