This generative writing workshop is designed to get you out of your head and bring your ideas onto the page.

Whether you have the full draft of a play, the seeds of a new idea, or you’re not sure where to begin, you’ll leave this workshop with fresh perspectives to carry forward on your writing journey. Open to all ages and levels of experience!This is a FREE workshop made possible by the Nevada Arts Council.
