"Whether you’ve been writing for eons or have never shared your writing within a group, this experience is not to be missed."
- Rachel Carillo, Prompt Workshop Participant
Write Around Portland is offering a special 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 traditionally 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 per workshop (18 and over).

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.
Tuesday night Prompt facilitator Ben Moorad is the Co-Founder of Write Around Portland. He has been awarded a Fellowship from The MacDowell Colony for his creative nonfiction and three grants from the Regional Arts & Culture Council for his poetry. Ben's work has appeared in The Threepenny Review, Poems & Plays, and several other journals.
Wednesday night Prompt facilitator Sara Guest has a BA in creative writing and an MA in literature. She is editor of VoiceCatcher3, an anthology of Portland women’s writing and workshopped fiction with Andrea Barrett at this year's Tin House Writers Workshop. She is a former speech writer, writing instructor and has worked professionally as an editor for 15 years. Sara has facilitated numerous Write Around Portland workshops as a volunteer and in her current role on our staff as Program Coordinator.
