of all genres. The goal of the workshop is to guide each writer to a reading
presentation unique to their own sensibility. Writers will practice ways of being
present as well as rehearsal procedures that ensure confidence in the reading. The
workshop is both a discussion and an on-your-feet practice of skills that make the
writer comfortable, confident and able to give the audience the gift of their work.
Each writer is asked to bring something they want to read aloud.
