Writers
in The Mountains is a local writing group whose mission is to provide
a nurturing environment for the practice, appreciation and sharing
of creative writing. Our workshops are informal, meeting from three
to six sessions. Each participant has the chance to read aloud either
a new work, or a work in progress. The instructor and the other writers
in the workshop will critique the writing, offer constructive criticisms
and suggestions for improvement.
The number
of participants in a workshop will vary from as few as six to as many
as twelve. We want to be sure that each participant has an opportunity
to read and receive evaluations. At the end of the workshop a public
reading is arranged so that the work can be shared with the community.Some
of our participants have no writing experience at all and others have
written for years. There are workshops geared toward all styles, genres,
and experience. All that is required is a love of language and the
desire to tell a story.

Also as we are looking for people to join our Board of Directors. If you cannot make a monthly commitment for the board maybe you can help out once every other month or so on some discrete projects?
