SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV — The Society for Creative Writing in the English and Modern Languages department is excited to be partnering with the Hagerstown branch of the Washington County Free Library for a writing workshop that will focus on personal essays on Thursday, November 4, from 6-7 p.m. in room 334 at the Alice Virginia and David W. Fletcher Branch at 100 S. Potomac St., Hagerstown, Maryland.
The personal essay workshop, featuring guest speaker Sadie Shorr-Parks, director of the Society for Creative Writing and adjunct English professor, is part of larger series of meetings with Write Here, Write Now, an ongoing writing group at the Hagerstown Library. Additionally, the programming compliments the library’s One Maryland, One Book programming. This year’s book, “The Book of Delights,” is a collection of personal essays by Ross Gay. The workshop will include discussion of the book and the genre of personal essays. Participants will be able to bring personal essays to be workshopped by the group.
Those interested can register online with library. https://wcfl.librarymarket.com/events/write-here-write-now-1
