Five-Week Workshop

If you're interested in honing your craft and supporting others on their writing journey this fall, join Writing in Community! In this multi-genre, process-oriented workshop, each writer will get the chance to receive feedback on three pieces. During our five sessions, you'll develop strategies for drafting, elaborating, revising, and self-editing that complement your individual creative process. You’ll also get accountability and practical support to help you maintain your writing life.

Facilitated by Whitney Bryant and poet and translator Adria Bernardi, Writing in Community will meet for five weeks at Whitney’s home in the Donelson area of Nashville on Sunday afternoons from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The meeting dates will be:

• October 4

• October 18

• November 1

• November 22

• December 6

Writers of all experience levels are welcome! Adria and Whitney will provide extensive written feedback for all students, as well as guidelines and modeling so that prose writers feel comfortable commenting on poetry, and vice versa. Each meeting will also include a discussion of a specific aspect of craft and an optional take-home generative prompt.

Prose writers may submit up to fifteen pages of their work at a time.

Poets may submit up to three poems at a time, with a ten-page limit.

Financial assistance is available. Please email Whitney at whitneybryantwriter@gmail.com for more info.
