Every other Tuesday
Memoirs & More – Writing Workshop, 1:00-3:00
This workshop carries forward and builds upon the writing classes at MCSC that were created and led by Teresa Dance over the past few years. The focus is on telling the stories of our lives through exploring such creative avenues as Memoir, Autobiography, Confession and more.
The class will also delve into other approaches to self-revelation including creative non-fiction, fiction, and and even play writing. The focus is on discovery, having fun, and expanding our pleasure in the writing process. The class is open to anyone who enjoys writing and wishes to share their enjoyment with other writers. We will write in class and bring work from home for comment and support.
Instructor Mark Bradlyn is a published writer whose short stories, essays, and non-fiction articles have appeared in numerous literary magazines, journals, and local newspapers. Several of his original short plays have been staged at Santa Cruz Actors’ Theatre and at Cabrillo College. He is the recipient of the James B. Hall Fiction Award for a short story published in Porter Gulch Review.
Class will be every other Tuesday from 1:00-3:00PM in the Annex, $4 members, $6 Non-Members
