Using the book “To the River: A Journey Beneath the Surface” as our inspiration point, we will “dip our toes” in the theme of rivers for this Sampler. (Anne LaMott says gardens and rivers are the most powerful metaphors for writing, and we will seek to prove her right.) We are thrilled to be able to circle up again person, surrounded by art and beauty. Check us out!

This Sampler will be facilitated by executive director Jennifer Wolfe.

MORE DETAILS

New writer? Remember, you don’t have to be a professional writer to join in. Use this class to find out more about Women Writing for (a) Change’s amazing process, used by thousands of women across the country since 1991 to express their authentic selves through writing and community-building. We'll use prompts, poetry, and prose to practice many different writing techniques.

Experienced writer? If you take the full series, you'll have a chance to sharpen your craft and technique in our small-group circles. You can bring whatever project you're working on and expect good feedback from people you can trust.

BACKGROUND

Women Writing for (a) Change® was founded in 1991 by Mary Pierce Brosmer, a practicing poet and former English teacher. She developed WWf(a)C to encourage women to find their voices, speak their truths, and tell their stories in a world in which they were often silenced. (womenwriting.org).

The Jacksonville-affiliated school was established in 2014 by Jennifer Wolfe, evolving into a non-profit in 2018, and adding new faculty members in 2019-2020. Our intention is to expand our outreach and accessibility to a larger, more diverse audience.
