The Heart of The Catskill Mountains
of Upstate New York

    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.

WRITERS CIRCLE

A Supportive, On-Going Group
The Writers' Circle meets the second and fourth Tuesday evening of each month at 6:00 PM at the Fairview Library in Margaretville. The purpose of this workshop is to give suggestions to both new and experienced writers who seek editorial advice, and new and original perspectives. Writers are both critiqued and encouraged. If you feel up to the challenge join the workshop. You are welcome to drop in for some constructive feedback on your work in progress. Attend as often as you like. No registration required.
