Prompt:

A New Community

Writing Workshop

Write Around Portland is enthusiastic to offer a new workshop designed for writers and aspiring writers in the greater Portland area who want to participate in a Write Around workshop and support the communities we serve. Prompt is your chance to write in community with others following the Write Around model while also providing support to writers who might not otherwise have access to writing and community. Registration is limited to 12 adults (18 and over), so sign up early.

Meets Tuesdays for 10 weeks: April 8 through June 10

7 - 9pm

Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W. Burnside

$285 (includes free parking, snacks and

access to the “bowels of Powells”)

Workshop Facilitator: Natalie Serber

Based on the acclaimed Write Around Portland model, this dynamic workshop incorporates many of our favorite writing exercises designed to inspire the writing life, including freewriting; work with writing elements; strength-building feedback and early-draft revision. The workshop will cap off with a community reading.

All proceeds go toward funding Write Around Portland programs, including workshops for people affected by HIV/AIDS, veterans living with PTSD, those with physical or mental disabilities, and others in Portland without access because of income, isolation or other barriers.

Prompt facilitator Natalie Serber holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Warren Wilson College. Natalie has been short-listed for Best American Stories, and is the recipient of the Tobias Wolff Award for Fiction and the John Steinbeck Award for Fiction. She is a seasoned Write Around Portland workshop facilitator and board member, and also teaches through Literary Arts’ Writers in the Schools and Community of Writers.
