Words on the Page: A Monthly Writing Workshop

Old Town Books (In Person) 

FREE

Join Kristen Zory King and Old Town Books for four fast-paced monthly writing workshops to get words on the page!

You do not need to be an experienced writer or poet to participate—beginners, journal-ers, and award winning writers all welcome. This workshop is free for all with a suggested $20 donation to Book Love, Old Town Books’ charitable giving program that delivers new books to area kids in need.
