Who Is The Workshop For?

It’s open to anyone, from novice to accomplished writer, and anywhere in between, working in all genres. The workshop, conducted using the principles of the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA), provides a unique setting for you, the writer, to grow creatively while practicing and developing your writing craft. The environment is safe, confidential, non-hierarchical, and creative, where you’re encouraged to take risks in your writing as you experiment with finding your unique written voice. The workshop emphasis is on encouraging you with what is good about your writing, not clubbing you with what’s wrong with it.

Where Will It Be Held?

The workshop is run by Silver Fern Writers in conjunction with Apartment E, and is held at the Office Gallery and Art Studio, located at 47 E. Robinson Street, in downtown Orlando. This is a working art studio and a great environment in which to get together and write, surrounded by wonderful and varied works of art.
