I’ve been urged to run my garden workshops again this summer, after missing last summer because of my travels. So here we go.
WRITE IN THE GARDEN, 2010
A one-day writing workshop to give you inspiration, structure and support, whether you have lots of writing experience or none.
Spend a day learning to trust your voice and your stories. Rediscover your creative self. Connect with other writers. Write in the garden and enjoy positive listening and feedback, hot and cold beverages, bushy perennials, and lunch.
Laughter, camaraderie and insight guaranteed.
Who: The workshop is run by Beth Kaplan, who has taught personal narrative writing at Ryerson for 16 years and at U of T for 4.”Beth is a wonderful teacher. I was encouraged and motivated and learned so much. I am totally inspired to write.”Amy Block, after her day at Write in the Garden
