Join Brad and Darlyn Kuhn at FSCJ Downtown Campus, Room A-2012 on Wednesday, October 26th from 6-8 PM to workshop your poem or short short story in the leadup to the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival.
Free and open to the public.
Bring a dozen copies of your work and enjoy gentle critique and encouragement.
Melissa Gopp-Warner says, ” It’s time we give more credence to writers, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, who dare to show up and tell their own stories on their own terms.”
Read her essay, “Memoir Deserves Its Moment,” in Publishers Weekly, here.
You can read more from this talented writer at Memoirs with Melissa, her review blog. It’s fascinating!
Congratulations, Melissa!
