“A writing workshop at our home will begin a new series of classes on September 4, 2018 thru October 9, 2018,” according to freelance writer and editor, Lynn Skapyak Harlin, leader of the workshop.

The Writers Workshop is designed for beginning writers who would like to learn new techniques, or seasoned writers who would like to refresh these skills to improve their writing. Fiction and nonfiction writers are welcome. Topics include: Creating believable characters, Tips for Improving Dialogue, Elements of Plot, how ‘Show rather than Tell’ works toward clarity in all forms of writing, the use of Pace, Mood, Tone and many other writing and submission tips.

Members of recent classes have won awards in the contests of the Florida First Coast Writers’ Festival and other national awards.

The session meets every Tuesday from 6 p.m. -9 p.m. and the cost of the workshop (limited to 6 students) is $200 for six weeks.

Before attending a workshop, all new workshop writers must write and submit an introductory essay according to workshop guidelines.
