Roundtable Discussion – Your Writing Practice: Pitfalls and Solutions

Join Straw Dog Writers Guild for a community-based roundtable discussion to share your best ideas and most stubborn blocks with fellow writers to gain insight into your writing process and community resources. This craft workshop with Michael Favala Goldman and Lindsay Rockwell will take place on Saturday, December 16, from 10:30am-12pm at Northampton Center for the Arts, 33 Hawley St. Northampton, MA

During this roundtable we will explore such questions as:

1. How do I create time to write?
2. Are there resources to help organize my writing?
3. Where should I send my work?
4. Do I need an editor/mentor/agent?
5. What do I do with my manuscript?

Bring your own questions, too. No registration is required for this in-person event.
