Writers' Hub Fall 2024 Workshops
Each semester, the Manhattanville University MFA Program develops a series of creative writing workshops that are open to local community members and program alumni as well as to current MFA students. These events are designed to dig deeply into a specific element of the craft of writing and to help participants hone their skills. All events take place at Barat House, home of the Dowd-O'Gorman Creative Writing Center, tucked away on Manhattanville’s vibrant campus. Please see this semester’s offerings below. We look forward to hosting you at Barat House. Come work on your writing craft with us!
Upcoming Workshops
We all have a unique story to tell, but how do you access it and what form should it take? Is it a short story, a novel, or a memoir? Is it for children or adults? Through a process of writing exercises, mind-mapping (a brainstorming technique), discussion of plot structure, and synopsis-based outlining, we will stimulate creativity and begin to map out your visions. Writers come away with a clearer sense of their writing goals and a basic outline for a project. Open to writers of all levels.
10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Barat House, Manhattanville University
Registration Fee: $50. FREE for current Manhattanville MFA students
