The Scripps Miramar Ranch Library is hosting a free five-session writing workshop for adults on consecutive Saturdays beginning January 28. The Workshop will be led by Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) affiliate Laurie Sanders-Cannon. Contrary to most writing classes that feature homework and redline critiques, the AWA method is for participants to write extemporaneously from a prompt. Writers then may share their writings aloud. All responses are positive, oral, and specifically address the strengths of the writing. Most participants find this technique empowering and they benefit from the group setting, shepherded by the leader who has been trained in the AWA method. Participants are requested to register in advance of the workshop by calling the library at 858-538-8158.
