Road Tripping, SC Virtual Writing Workshop

South Carolina's roads are rough, but the landscapes and destinations are beautiful and haunting. Share your road trip stories in this virtual writing workshop. No writing experience is required, just stories. ?

Frequently asked questions

What can I expect from this workshop?

This is a workshop where we write for fun. This workshop is open to participants of all ages. You bring your stories and fun.

What if I'm not a writer, or I'm just learning how to write?

No worries. The workshop initiative, Communal Pen, is based on the belief that everyone is a writer and has a story to share. Our goal is to share stories that showcase the great diversity of South Carolina. If you live here, we want to hear from you.

What will happen with the stories I share?

Great question. If you decide at the end of the workshop that you would like us to archive your stories, we'll make them available in late Spring on a new website that showcases all the stories from Communal Pen workshops from the last few years. Or you can just write for you.
