About this event

Writing marathons began in the early 1990s with the Southeastern Louisiana Writing Project and have been adapted for use in National Writing Project Institutes, classrooms, literary festivals, and writing groups throughout the country.

During a marathon, small groups or individuals travel through different landscapes, writing and composing along the way in any genre they like, drawing inspiration from their surroundings and also from their fellow writers.

The below prompts are suggestions to guide your writing process. Use these prompts as a springboard and be sure to bring your writings to our Read Around on May 31, 2024 at the Frick Environmental Center.
