SUMMARY:Writing for the Sake of Writing - A Generative Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is held through OLLI-ISU. \nInstructor: Ana McCracken\nFive weeks: Monday\, Sept. 30 – Oct. 28\, 2024\nClass Limit 8 \n1 – 3:30 p.m. CT Online with Zoom \n\n\nCost: $60 Class limit 8 REGISTER ONLINE \n\n\n\n\nDo you dream of writing “someday” but don’t know where to start?

We will read our stories to one another\, discuss the craft of writing\, and where to publish. \nAna McCracken\, founder of the Ames Writers Collective\, received her BS & MFA in Creative Writing from Iowa State University. Her writing has been published in literary journals and anthologies. A certified Amherst Writers & Artists facilitator\, she serves on Litquake’s advisory board and the Willa Cather Foundation board of governors.
