About the Course
The Writing Block is a six-week workshop designed to help writers complete short term writing projects (short stories, novel chapters, essays, poems, or scripts). It provides a safe space to gain writing tips, accountability for projects, and peer-to-peer feedback. The course runs once a quarter on Thursdays, 7-8:30pm EST.
