Projects in Progress
NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING
The Writer’s Center of White River Junction, Second Friday of Every Month, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m,
Have a book in the works? A memoir you need help organizing? Searching for feedback on your latest short story? Come join our monthly workshop. We meet for approximately two to three hours one Friday each month. In addition to feedback from our peers, I offer comments and take your latest chapter, story etc. home for review. We offer a lot of support and advice on how to move forward and will take your project to its well-written completion. I am capping the class at 6 to 8 students on a first-come, first-serve basis.
“I’m not one bit surprised Kim has a loyal following of writers for her classes. Once you find someone who can both instruct and inspire, you stick with them. In addition, she’s as talented a writer as a teacher. I’ve read Kim’s feature articles for years on a diversity of subjects and have long admired the style and substance of her work. I’m a fan on many levels.”
MEMOIR WRITING for sENIORS on ZOOM W/Dartmouth aging RESOURCE CENTER
TUESDAY OCT. 7TH, 6 WEEKS, 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
We are all open to new memories, new travels, new adventures, but what about when the new becomes old? What happens when these timely adventures turn to memory? How do we recapture them and claim them fresh and new again, and what did we learn? Let’s take five weeks to open ourselves to our pasts and see what gems we can discover in writing the stories of our lives.
