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.

Ten Weeks, 2 hours per session, dates this fall TBA

Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W. Burnside

$285 (includes free parking, snacks and

access to the “bowels of Powells”)

Workshop Facilitator: Robyn Steely

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 Robyn Steely is the Executive Director of Write Around Portland. She has facilitated writing workshops for veterans, incarcerated me and women, teen girls in drug and alcohol treatment, and low income adults, as well as real estate agents, health care providers and teachers. She has trained more than 70 individuals to become Write Around Portland facilitators, and she was awarded the Skidmore Prize for outstanding work in the nonprofit sector.
