Advocacy Club Creative Writers Workshop
Attention legal creative writers and wannabes! The Advocacy Club's Creative Writers Workshop is up and running. The third set of sessions started in September 2021 and runs Thursday evenings on Zoom Video. Each evening is led by a Workshop member with short readings on theory, a short story from a professional author and a review of homework exercises used to practice the technique of the day.
If you have tried your hand at writing fiction and want to learn and practice effective techniques to improve, you might give this workshop a look. Learn by doing, Advocacy Club-style!
To join our workshop you have to at least try to create fiction. Write and submit a short story of your own (2,000-4,000 words) to john.hollander2@gmail.com to get the ball rolling. There is no cost to participate in this Workshop.
